If this was Sunday afternoon, shortly after you had left the place of worship, most of you reading these meditations regularly, I’m quite sure you would quickly reply to the question above with something like, ‘People will see the Christ that lives in me.” Some will even borrow a saying they really don’t understand, “Blessed and highly favored.” Then again, just maybe, one would reply, “A faithful child of God,” “A new creature,” “Changed, not what I used to be.”
Let’s keep looking at how church folks would answer the question in the title on this Wednesday morning, particularly those church folks who woke up today and realized how the Lord blessed them more than they deserved or they were still amazed at how God had intervened in their life circumstance(s) in a major way on Monday or as late as Tuesday night. In those cases, the church folks would probably point above and reply with this response, “The blessings of the Lord” or “The Light because the Lord has surely shined on me.” Praise God! Hallelujah!
But let’s say that what I described in the aforementioned paragraph, is not a description of how some church folks would answer the above question this Wednesday morning. Yes, I’m talking about church folks who woke up and regardless of how God has been so good to them, and for reasons unknown to me, they did not wake up with their mind stayed on Jesus. Sad, right? Yes, right! For in the case of such church folks, their witness will be impaired, and their state of mind started today would be in need of being spiritually repaired.
Now that I have your attention, let me ask you the same question, “Who will people see in you today?” Only you can answer this question, but if it is not an answer that does not satisfy the Lord, there is still time to choose to have an answer that makes heaven smile! Ponder on your answer, your God-consciousness, and your Christ centeredness right now! Be blessed!
“Then He said to all, “Anyone who wants to follow Me must put aside his own desires and conveniences and carry his cross with him every day and keep close to me.”
Committed to the climb,
