He said, “Greater things I’ll do now.” When He was on earth in His
incarnate body, He was limited. If He was in Jerusalem, He wasn’t
in Bethany. If He was in Bethany, He wasn’t in Jericho. If He was
in Jericho, He wasn’t in Samaria. But now He has a new body. He’s
in the United States. He’s in Africa. He’s in China. He’s in France.
He now lives and He can do greater things because He has a new
body!

I once heard a story of a missionary girl and God had revealed to her
this life that He wants to live in her. She got all excited and wanted
to give a testimony but she was nervous. So, she had trouble getting
the words out correctly. Here’s what she wanted to say, “Let Christ
have His way in your life.” Here’s what she did say, “Let Christ
have His life in your way.” What she said was much better than
what she intended to say!

It’s possible that there is somebody in this room, you might be thirty,
forty, fifty, sixty years old, and you have never lived as God
intended you to live. You haven’t understood what Jesus modeled
in His example for living. He said, “I make no decisions on My
own. I have no private will. I don’t seek my own honor. I don’t do
anything unless He does it in me. I don’t say anything unless it’s
through Him.” Have you even begun to taste the exchanged life?
He wants to live again as your substitute. As He once died in your
place, He now wants to live in your place. He’s still on the journey.
He has not yet saved the world and He wants to do it in and through
us. May God help us to live as God intended man to live!

Our Heavenly Father, we thank You so much for Your word, not
what we think it might mean but all that You have inspired it to
mean. Work that in our hearts we pray and thank You for being
willing to live in us. We pray in Jesus’ name. Amen
