Readings on Christ (continued)

from Christ there is no way, nor truth, nor life. How easily we make things as way, truth, and life. Or, we call hot atmosphere as life, we label clear thought as life. We consider strong emotion or outward conduct as life. In reality, though, these are not life. We ought to realize that only the Lord is life, Christ is our life. And it is the Lord who lives out this life in us. Let us ask him to deliver us from the many external and fragmentary affairs that we may touch only him. May we see the Lord in all things –way, truth, and life are all found in knowing him. May we really meet the Son of God and let him live in us. Amen.
