DAILY?READINGS: Numbers 5; Proverbs 2; Mark 14:27-52
For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. Philippians 1:21
All believers are “in Christ”, but not all believers have this sentiment, “for to me to live is Christ”. Such a life is a surrendered and sanctified life, lived only for Christ. This occurs when our thoughts, words and actions are all for the glory of Christ. This means the person and virtues of Christ will be reflected in our daily life, in the home, at work, school, the church and in our leisure time. An inspirational Christian image pictures a bullock standing between a plough and an altar, with the caption, “Ready for either”. Ready to work or to be sacrificed for Christ! Then we will enter into Paul’s statement, “For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain.” —Milton Haack
All to Jesus I surrender, all to Him I freely give;
I would ever love and trust Him, in His presence daily live.
—Judson W. Van de Venter
