Oh, to think of what we have in Christ! Take a break from the toil of life and consider Christ. Through Him the wrath of the King of Kings is turned into ceaseless favor. Through Him sinners find life when death was our certain end. In Christ, we receive the graces of God – life, power, love, faithfulness, help, hope, and strength. There is no need to fear the wrath of the King because the wrath has been forever banished for all those in Christ. There is pardon, peace, and joy. It pours out on us as a cooling rain on a mid-summer day. If there is one thing you must do today, it is to spend some time contemplating Christ. Fix your mind upon Him, and let the reality of what you have in Christ be the foundation for how you see all of life. As one song so aptly puts it, “Turn your eyes upon Jesus, Look full in His wonderful face, then the things of earth will grow strangely dim in the light of His glory and grace.”
