In Christ- made more sense today.
It's akin to the hope I had when Chong Wei made it to the finals, won the first set and was ahead of Lin Dan for part of the third set- he would've been our (Malaysia's) best chance at bagging a gold at the Olympics. And so, I completely cast my hopes on this man to deliver for me; every point he scored or conceded mattered to me. The subsequent loss mattered to me.
But Christ is victorious. And this is how I ought to see myself in relation to God- to be found in Christ. To identify with every thing that Christ has done; death, ressurection, glorification. The bible means a whole lot more (to me) when read this way. Especially these bits:
- I have been crucified with Christ
- Being made alive with Christ
- Being made children of God, in Christ Jesus
- Having freedom in Christ
- All the promises of God are yes in Christ
Not the best analogy, but helpful.
