Christ is All

     I am beginning to see Him everywhere I turn; His restoration, His plans and purposes, His love and His provision in every aspect of life. He is our All in All. In Christ is everything we need, everything we hope for, everything we believe in that is true.
     When He consumes the whole creation, death will be swallowed up in Life. Through His children, in ways we know and don't know, He is gaining ground by the second. He has and will overcome! His light is dispelling the darkness.
     God's purposes will be fulfilled (and they are in Christ) and will become manifest, in His way and in His time. By faith, they are so, and by faith, they will be. Not to say that our faith makes them so, but our faith believes it is so, because the One who has promised is faithful. God will carry out all He intends, for His glory to shine on this earth, and in eternity. Again, all has been fulfilled in Christ. He is sitting at God's right hand right now, declaring the victory of God over all things.
     Christ is the beginning and Christ is the end. One hymn I used to sing went-"In Christ there is no east or west, in Him no south or north." This limitless and non-defining Christ extends throughout all heaven and all earth, and will get brighter and brighter as we see the Noon-day approaching.  (Job 11:17, Prov. 4:10, 2 Pet. 1:19)
     What a day that was on the cross, and what a Day that will be when faith will be sight!!!
