Holy WOW!

Galatians 2: 20
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me…
 
The Apostle Paul quoted some really cool verses of scripture. Some of them we use every day, and some we even misuse.
I’ve been preaching on… Philippians 4: 13 for a number of weeks—another really cool sounding verse.
 
Seriously though, how many people in the church of Jesus Christ, have been crucified with Christ?
Crucifixion suggests death to the old life.
 
How many people in the church you go to, have launched their lives into a reckless walk with Jesus?
When I read the works of Jesus, and of St. Paul, I often reflect to myself… “Holy WOW”!!
 
Who can you name by name right now, that walks a… “Holy WOW”, faith walk with Jesus?
It should be the kind of person who has totally abandoned themselves to the work of the Gospel.
 
I remember when I first entered the ministry, I was totally hot on fire to do the work of God.
If I’m really honest with myself today, I’m not sure that could be said about me right now.
 
The watching world of unbelievers, would call this kind of person, completely mad.
Would you say you’re in a reckless pursuit of the things of God?
 
There’s no mistaking a person, crucified with Christ.
It shows up in what they live for…
