DAY OF CHRIST…It’s human nature to get comfortable in our routines. We can get so comfortable with certain seasons of life that we forget it’s only a season. I fear this has happened in part to many in the church of Jesus Christ.
“holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain.” ~Phil. 2:16
I am moved by the phrase, ‘the day of Christ’. This verse is obviously talking about a season in time in which the influence of the Lord is more prominent than other times. In a different scripture Paul used the phrase, “the day of salvation” to refer to these present days where the salvation of the Lord is available to all. In yet another scripture Paul talks about the ‘judgment of works’ where the saints will appear before Christ to be rewarded for what they accomplished for Him on the earth. It too is a season where the Christ is front and center. And then there is the reality that a person can enter into a daily walking relationship in which His divine influence becomes huge in their lives. What ever way you look at it, there are seasons in which the influence of Christ runs high. This is a deeply important time on the earth. And if we are keeping attentive to Christ’s daily leadership, it’s a deeply important time in our lives…important enough for us to consider and reconsider and re-re-consider how to best invest ourselves in the DAY OF CHRIST? ~verlon
