Your Journey to VictorySample

Walking with Jesus

And as we live in God, our love grows more perfect. So we will not be afraid on the day of judgment, but we can face him with confidence because we live like Jesus here in this world. —1 John 4:17, NLT

Our lives are patterned after the One who is raised from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and forever glorified. It almost sounds blasphemous to say, but our walk with Jesus is not patterned after His pre-glorified state. It is firmly established in the victorious Christ! Jesus taught us the ways of the kingdom in His earthly life. His humility, boldness, passion, and love are all eternal. These traits never change, whether before the cross or after. This is who the Son of God has always been and always will be. They remain true, no matter the season of our lives. But His resurrection, ascension, and glorification are to change much of what we expect of our lives in that we live from the absolute victory of Christ. The Christian life is one of conflict between the issue of blessing and the issue of the cross. Where would you like to see Christ’s victory invade in your life and in the lives of those around you?

Point to Ponder

My life is modeled after Christ, resurrected and seated on the throne.
