Though Jesus is
completely God, He was born completely human. He went through temptation after
temptation and conquered every one of them (see Hebrews 4:15). And all that
overcoming power is found in His life. And He put that life in you—the life of
Christ is in you!
During Jesus’ ministry
on earth, He conquered sickness, the winds and waves, the powers of darkness
and death. It is His life that brings victory over the devil and all his works.
And He put that life in you—the life of Christ is in you!
Finally, Jesus went to
the cross. And that life in Him put an end to everything that was natural of
the Adamic race—sickness, poverty, failures, pains, curses and death. All that
was natural ceased to be in that life of His. But all that was supernatural
remained in Him. And He put that life in you—the life of Christ is in you!
Then, Jesus rose from
the dead. And in that life of His was added the power of resurrection. And He
put that life in you—the life of Christ is in you!
After His
resurrection, Jesus went back to heaven to His Father. Today, He is seated at
the right hand of God, resting in His finished work, occupying a place of the
highest authority. And He put that life in you—the life of Christ is in you!
And because Jesus went
back to the Father, the Holy Spirit came to indwell you (see John 16:7), so
that you will live life with His anointing in you and walk in His overcoming
power.
All that Jesus is, God meant for you to be. All that He has, God meant for you to have. All the exciting things that you read in the Bible about Jesus, all the treasures of Him hidden in the Old Testament and the unsearchable riches in Him that you find in the New Testament, all of that life of His, is not out there somewhere. God has deposited all of it in you, so that you can live the abundant life that Jesus came to give you! (Article & Picture; courtesy of Joseph Prince Ministries used with kind permission).
