I had opened a famous book and tried to read it several times in my life. (I don’t remember the very first time.) Yet I always found it dull and boring and I quickly put it down. Although most people had one or more copies, I had never seen anyone actually open it up and read it for pleasure.
Then one day I met some people who were talking about the author. I thought the author was dead, but they said that they had met him and that he had become their personal friend and now lives inside of them. They said His name is Jesus Christ.
As they talked about Him, I felt His presence come inside and begin to reside within me. I’ve never been the same. He walks with me and talks with me day and night. Jesus makes the words of the Bible burn in my heart. I read it every day.
To abide in Christ is to let Him be your Lord. It is to make Him your moment-by-moment guide who resides inside you and decides what you say and do. It is to experience His presence, power, love, and reality again and again throughout each day.
Jesus is
The Way,
Follow Him;
The Truth,
Walk in His Light;
And the Life,
Let Him live
And reign
Inside you.
(John 14:6)
