Living in Christ

As many of you as were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.- Galatians 3 :27

As you therefore have received Christ Jesus the Lord, continue to live your lives in him.- Colossians 2 :6

Today in the time of adoration jesus told me: Have you reflected on

 * the journey from crucified Jesus to resurrected/ascended Jesus?

Then Jesus gently spoke to me about this journey. 

When Jesus was on the cross, he couldn't do anything physically. He was completely fixated on the cross. But what he did spiritually inside was amazing. Hanging on the cross , Jesus thirsted? Jesus prayed :' father , forgive them as they do not know what they are doing'. He promised paraidse experience to the repented thief who prayed ' remember me when you come into your kingdom ' 

Jesus commended his soul completely to heavenly father and gave his spirit.

The body of Jesus was brought down and laid on mothers bossom. Mother looks at us, asking us to, come and comfort my son. Christ was placed in her bossom the same way as it was during his birth. Mother took him in her bossom and looked at us - Jesus- the savior. Jesus showed me a contrasting image of both.

Mothers looks are different in both circumstances. 

Jesus was helpless both times and had to be carried. One time he was born in flesh and now died to flesh. His fleshly body was embalmed and placed in sepulchure. But conquering the freshly body Jesus rose outpouring in spiritual realm of existence. Appearing to all who accompanied him. He did not heal or do deliverances anymore like he was to do in flesh but Jesus was preaching peace and good news to all who were accompanying him , entrusting them with their mission and breaking holy spirit into them.

He strengthened all and went to be one in father bringing down the Holy Spirit in each.

So , in this journey , when.are on the experience of cross, when we feel trapped or helpless in a situation ,nailed to our daily cross, we must learn to forgive , to thirst for souls, to give paradise experience to those in same sufferings, to commend your spirit in trust to God, leave the freshly life to God.

Leave your freshly body in Christ and rise in spiritual life always doing heavens wish , resting in Jesus. Your old self is crucified in Christ, now the life you live is Christ's life. Christ's says " deny your self, take up your daily crosses ans follow me' . Yes we have to follow Jesus.

Commend your spirit to father and forgive. When you are helpless frozen or nailed to cross or feel lifeless, offer yourself to mother and seek her intercession .

Then Jesus reflected in me 

the journey:

 * from palm leaves to the cross. 

This was a journey of intense sufferings on flesh. But jesus accepted it leaving himself in trust to Abba father. He abandoned himself to father's will, then heavenly help came upon him. With heavenly help, strengthened by angels, he could stand firm in persecutions mocking flogging and carrying the cross of sins of whole world and at same time comforting the women in the way of the cross , meeting mother and his beloved people. So, in times of sufferings surrender your self and pray to get heavenly help. So that in sufferings we are hidden undet the wings of Christ and will not complain but offer ourselves for the mission of salvation in Christ, no matter how hard the times are.

* From baptism to palm leaves

This was a life completely doing father's will. Jesus filled himself in night with father's will, with what father showed him. Father's strength flowed through him while in the freshly life, he was father's word made flesh. He did not speak anything other than what father said, he did nothing other than what father showed. His food was to accomplish father's will.

 Hebrews 10:5-7 says: "when Christ came into the world, he said,

“Sacrifices and offerings you have not desired, but a body you have prepared for me; 6 in burnt offerings and sin offerings you have taken no pleasure.

7 Then I said, ‘See, God, I have come to do your will, O God"

* From manger to baptism

Jesus was obedient to his earthly father and mother. He got trained and matured learning his first foundation steps from.earthly guardians/earthly elders that heavenly father appointed.

Luke 2 says "51 Then he went down with them and came to Nazareth, and was obedient to them. His mother treasured all these things in her heart.

52 And Jesus increased in wisdom and in years, and in divine and human favor."

Jesus told that these are different levels of spiritual growth crushing out the seed coat of flesh and growing in freedom of spirit. Imitate Christ.

Let us pray

Lord Jesus,

Teach me to walk Your path—

from hidden obedience to faithful surrender,

from suffering to resurrection.

When I am weak, help me trust.

When I am wounded, help me forgive.

When I am lost, draw me into Your will.

Crucify what is not of You in me,

and raise me into Your life.

I place my spirit in Your hands.

Let me live no longer for myself,

but for You alone.

Amen.
