I love The Message version: 3-4Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life—even though invisible to spectators—is with Christ in God. He is your life. When Christ (your real life, remember) shows up again on this earth, you’ll show up, too—the real you, the glorious you. Meanwhile, be content with obscurity, like Christ.

I needed to be reminded that my old life is dead and He is my life now. With Jesus as my example, and Him living in me, I will try to be content until His return. When He returns, He will make everything the way it was intended, including me and you. Won’t that be amazing!!!

One of my favorite verses of scripture is found among these passages. It is one of the essential truths of our faith, this truth separates our message from the 100′s of others than pretend to “know the way”. That truth is simple: in Jesus we are all the same. Our distinction from others is not found in outward things — who our parents were, how much we make, whether we live near the tracks or the bad side of town or even if our name now begins with Pastor, Brother, or Bishop–none of that matters. What defines us now is Jesus.
I guess it’s true what they say, “it’s not what you know, it’s who you know.”
