Opening the Door

Saturday. 1 Cor. 3: 16-23.

What docs it mean to be a Christian? To believe the Bible? No. It’s far simpler and more radical. It means this: opening the door of your life to Jesus, and letting him have full sway. When that’s done he comes in, and reshapes the whole life on the shape of his own presence. Then you believe the Bible from lid to lid because you have Jesus. When you have him you believe it and you love it.
