The Glorious, Wonderful, and Overwhelming Opportunities of Christ

Christ relentlessly committed every thought, every word, and every deed he did to the glory of God the Father.

Written by Jacob Toman | Wednesday, November 24, 2021

Christ Jesus always fulfilled every moment with exactly who he was supposed to be, conducting himself in a manner worthy of God’s admiration. What a glorious, wonderful, and overwhelming reality, that Christ was all he could be and should be in every moment.

 

This isn’t really a “post” per say. This isn’t a thesis delivered through stories, quotes, or persuasion. This isn’t a study, inviting us to dive deeper into an aspect of God’s truth or character. This is more a collection of phrases and thoughts from the last few days.

One of the most moving and amazing things God has shown me over the last few days is the work and person of Christ in what he did.

Often we think of Christ Jesus in terms of what he didn’t do.

Christ didn’t sin (2 Corinthians 5:21).

So all the sins that we are daily, weekly, monthly, familiar with experiencing and committing, Christ abstained from those things. He never submitted to a tempting thought. He never spoke evil. He never did any act which betrayed the Father’s righteous standard.

Often we think about Christ in these terms, what he avoided, fought against, and ultimately didn’t do.

Yet the thought that has grown in me in prayer is the thought of what Christ actively did do. Christ relentlessly committed every thought, every word, and every deed he did to the glory of God the Father.
