Morning Bliss: Crucified In Jesus_



Focal Scripture : Romans 6:6; Knowing this, that our old man is crucified with him, that the body of sin might be destroyed, that henceforth we should not serve sin."

                     Read: Rom. 6:6-14


When you by faith look at Jesus on the cross, do you see yourself perhaps in the place of those who stood far away from the gruesome scene, observing and grieving but at a distance?

Or do you feel like the thief that hung next to Jesus and asked for a part in his kingdom, trusting in the fact that this mangled, crucified man is also your Lord who is about to come into his kingdom?

While both of these positions depict our relationship to Christ to some degree, what Paul wants us to see, when we look by faith at the cross, is ourselves crucified with Jesus -- not just far off from him, or next to him, but hanging with him on the cross. "Crucified In Him", depicts, You in Him, that's all your sin, and old nature that manifest those sinful drives were in Him (Jesus), knelt on the Cross. Our old man, Paul says, is crucified with him.

This is attention-grabbing language to be sure, but what does he mean by it? Paul explains: our old, sinful nature -- the body of sin -- was conquered as a result of Christ's death on the cross for us. So, in a very real and vital way, we should think of our old life, habits, and desires as being put to death there with Jesus.

It is no longer necessary for us to serve sin, to be slaves to our corrupt desires and emotions. The victory that Christ won on the cross sets us free to serve him.

Have you been crucified with Christ? If so, you are free from bondage of sin and have the power to live a new life to the glory of your Savior. 

Today, And beyond, always affirm, "My sins Are Forgiven" I am that New Man in Christ. 
The Spirit of law of Liberty has set me free from the law of sin and death!. 

Be intentional and walk in this reality in all you endeavors.

Morning Bliss: Give Cheerfully, Not Out Of Fear _ Focal Scripture : Matthew 23:23 'Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.'                                      Read: Matthew 23:23 Some have taught that Jesus did away with the tithe since it is not a specific part of the New Testament teaching.  But in this instance, Jesus made reference to the scribes and Pharisees tithing and implied that they were right in doing so.  The New Covenant did not do away with the tithe but it clarified what the motives for tithing should be. Abram tithed over 430 years before the law was given. Jacob also tithed approximately 300 years before the time of the law.  Therefore, tithing was a B...

Morning Bliss: Discipline Brings Life_ Focal Scripture : Matthew 18:18-19 'Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven. Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.'                                      Read: Matthew 18:15-19 Verses 18 and 19 have many applications, but taken in context, they are specifically referring to church discipline.  Some might think that church discipline is only symbolic and carries no real weight; however, Jesus is making it clear that in the spiritual realm, discipline that is directed by the Holy Spirit has much power. The scriptural commands concerning church discipline are designed to help restore the brother or sister who is...

Morning Bliss: Build Faith, Destroy Doubt_ Focal Scripture :  Matthew 17:20 'And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.'                                      Read:  Matthew 17:9-20; Mark 9:9-27; Luke 9:37-42 The disciples' unbelief in this instance was not a disbelief in God's power to produce deliverance, but rather a 'natural' kind of unbelief that came from a hardened heart that was more sensitive to what it saw than to what it believed. Jesus said that a very small amount of faith (a 'mustard seed') is sufficient to remove a mountain, if no unbelief is present to hinder it. Jesus was disappointed that His disciples had ...
