[The Glory Unveiled]
We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. ( 2 Corinthians 4:10 )
The death of Jesus brought us life. Without His historic and sacrificial death, we would have been held by the clutches of death. But now, because He died for our wrong, we can live His righteous life. And then, we are able to see our light in His light. The death of Jesus is the license that gives us access to the life of Jesus. This is why Jesus said, except a wheat falls to the ground and dies, it remains alone (John 12:24). The multiplication of the life of Jesus to the world was made possible through His death. Before this verse of scripture, the writer of this book mentioned a number of challenges that may confront him, yet he was sure that nothing will happen to him in the midst of all of those things because He carried in His body, the death of Jesus. We must consciously carry about in our body the death of Jesus (Romans 12:1-2) if we will be capable of dispensing the life of Jesus to the world. Carrying His death in our body will come at a cost we may not be naturally willing to pay. But if we want to influence the life of those around us for Jesus, then we must pay the full price of carrying in our bodies like the apostles, His death.
Prayer_Bead: Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for paying the ultimate price for my redemption and salvation. Help me to carry in my body your death, so that I can share in your life and help others share in that life also.
