Seeing the Face of Christ in Ourselves--Friday, February 24, 2012

Galatians 2:19a-20

^19aFor through the law I died to the law, so that I might live to God. I have been crucified with Christ; ²⁰and it is no longer I who live, but it is Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

I think that we should try and live as if we have been given a second chance.  We should help the helpless.  Feed those unable to feed themselves.  Help ones who cannot help themselves.  Help teach those who have a hard time learning.  Become role models to God’s children who have no role models.  Trust that all of your good deeds will not go unheard.  This is the real test: for us all to reach out and commit to the needs of the helpless.

For reflection:

What does it mean to you, to be crucified with Christ?

What are some of the opportunities to “help the helpless” that surround you?

Take time today, to thank God.  Give thanks that you never exhaust God’s forgiveness and love...and that you have another chance, this day and every day, to see the face of Christ in your neighbor, and be the face of Christ to your neighbor.
