Paul’s marvelously rich expression indicates, that Christ is the source of our life, “You hath he quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins”. What can the Christian feed upon but Jesus’ flesh and blood?
“This is the bread which cometh down from heaven, that a man may eat thereof, and not die”. O wayworn pilgrims in this wilderness of sin, you never get a morsel to satisfy the hunger of your spirits, except ye find it in him!
As flies, the arrow to its goal so flies the Christian towards the perfecting of his fellowship with Christ Jesus.
As the soldier fights for his captain and is crowned in his captain’s victory, so the believer contends for Christ, and gets his triumph out of the triumphs of his Master, “For him to live is Christ” We shall set him before us as our Divine copy, and we shall seek to tread in his footsteps, until he shall become the crown of our life in glory. Oh! how safe, how honoured, how happy is the Christian, since Christ is our life!
