He Lives in Me

 

I intended to post this Wednesday night… obviously I never did but I’ve been thinking on this for the last couple of days.

I’m stealing thoughts from Bro. Cody, this was part of his testimony Wednesday night, but I’ll probably wind up adding to it!

I’m often guilty of thinking how much easier it must have been for the disciples because they had Jesus right there with them in the flesh.  We read were John would lay his head on Jesus’ bosom. How great that would be… to talk face to face with the Lord, to reach right out and touch Him.

But here’s the kicker… if Jesus were walking this earth today He most likely wouldn’t live in my house.  Sure I might be able to go see Him or He might come see me but most likely He wouldn’t be right here with me every day. 

Jesus said in John that it was expedient for man that He go away… be crucified.  That He was with them, but He would be IN them.

Really we have it so much better. 

We don’t have to wait for Jesus to come to our town.  We don’t have to push through a crowd to touch Him in order to receive our healing.  We don’t have to climb a tree just to get a glimpse of Him.

Any time, no matter where we are, we can call on Him and He’s right there. 

There’s a song we sing… I looked and couldn’t find it online, but the chorus says

He lives, He lives, He lives in me, oh, He lives in me.

Jesus Christ, the King of all kings, oh, He lives in me.

It’s a great song, I wish I could remember all the verses.  But just think how very, very blessed we are.  He doesn’t just live with us, walk with us, but we are His temple… He lives in me… how humbling that is.
