A Vision of an Ideal Life
COLOSSIANS 3:1-4
This Sunday, we were joined by our dear friend, Kyle Houlton from Sovereign Grace Church of Orange. He pointed out that while we’re all living, everyone wants to be even more alive. We all want an ideal life. So where do we get it? What does it look like? What shape does it take on when it’s lived out? The answer is Jesus Christ. The One who is not just some kind of life dispenser, but who is himself our life. If we’ve died to sin and been raised with Christ, the only life we have now is the life of Christ in us. Which means that the way to be most alive is get more and more of Christ. Striving to make all that is precious to him precious to us. Increasingly taking on his shape so that all that displeases him affects us in the same way. Eagerly waiting for that day when the One seated at the right hand of God in heaven returns to this earth and our ideal lives are fully realized.
