THE EXCHANGED LIFE

WHAT I LONG TO COMMUNICATE
THROUGH MY EXCHANGED LIFE
MESSAGE

Jesus lived as God originally created and intended men to live. He
laid aside who He was by nature (the manifestation of His
Godhead), never to grasp for it or to depend upon it again. He lived
every moment depending on the indwelling Life of His Father. He
has invited us to that same experience. We lay aside who we are by
nature (sinful flesh), never again to reach back and grasp or depend
upon it. Instead, we live every moment depending on the indwelling
life of the Lord Jesus. The Lord Jesus living in us is on a quest to
bring His redemption to the world. As He lived for others in His
incarnate body, He now pours out His life through His mystical
body, the Church, to draw sinners to Himself. We do not live for
Jesus; He lives for Himself! As He once died as our Substitute, He
now lives as our Substitute. The exchange is His life in place of
mine.
