Something More Than Christ?

But if we have food and clothing, let us be content with that.
1 Timothy 6.8

We have all seen the man who is not content with what he has: He is always working, always scheming, always fretting to get something more. Most of the time, it is something more of this world’s goods – simple material things. Others feel unfulfilled and are always looking for some knew experience or some new knowledge as though, just around the corner waits whatever it is they are looking for – something more. The happy man in this world is the man who is content to have his food and clothes.

It seems believers sometimes try to live their lives on that same “something more” principle. They are never content with their “spiritual” condition. There are preachers who make their living feeding this “something more” hope; who make their hearers think there IS something more than what they have: some new experience, some new knowledge. The sheep are thus tempted to seek a “higher life” or a “deeper life,” or some “second blessing.”

Do not the Scripture’s words about contentment in this life apply with equal force to our spiritual lives: with food and clothing, let us be content. We feed on that “bread that came down from heaven,” (John 6.41) and are “clothed with garments of salvation and are covered in a robe of righteousness.” (Isaiah 61.10) Isn’t that enough for now? Can we not be content in this life to know that our souls are covered in the righteousness of Christ and our spiritual bellies are filled with Christ? We may hope for more in the future, and it is certain we shall receive more when the Lord Jesus comes. But, for now, we can be content with things the way they are right now, for we have good food and good clothes in Christ!
