We Have the Mind of Christ...11/03/09

[C.D. Johnson]

Did you Know…

This mind of Christ will help us to do everything like Jesus did when He walked in the flesh?

The Word of God says “Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus”…He said “Let”…That means we have to allow it to be…Jesus will not make us. But the mind of Christ will make us yearn to be clothed with the righteousness of God.

Paul said we are of the circumcision which worship God in the Spirit and rejoice and have no confidence in the flesh…The circumcision is the veil of sin that was peeled away from our lives. We couldn’t worship and rejoice being in sin!

We have to put aside, lie down, and cast away the former lust of our flesh to be in the presence of God. No sin can stand before Him.

Once we come to count all things as a loss, we will come to know Christ in the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of His suffering. With every trail, we’re dying out from our flesh. As we die out we know Jesus in the fellowship of His suffering.

There is nothing that we face that Jesus had not already experienced.

Can you imagine? All the people on this earth and all they went through? The Word of God said Jesus suffered all things for all people. Yet! He opened not His mouth…

How much more, the little things we suffer and go through, we should not complain. But rejoice, knowing that we’re in the fellowship of Jesus’ suffering.

Peace and Blessings to all…
