Living
By Christ
"As the living Father hath sent me, and I live by the
Father: so he that eateth me, even he shall live by
me." John 6:57. Are you able to grasp the meaning of
these words ? Read them over again slowly and prayerfully.
We are to live by Christ as Christ lived by the Father.
This is life's standard. It is the standard Jesus set up.
The life Jesus lived was not His, but the life of the
Father. The words He spoke were the Father's words, the
deeds He did were the deeds of the Father. To look upon
His life was to look upon the life of the Father, for it
was the Father that lived in Him. He lived by the Father
because He lived upon the Father. In those early morning
and all night prayers He was feeding on God the Father,
and all through the day He lived by Him. That which He
gathered from the Father in those heart to heart prayers
He carried out and gave it to the world. In those
communings with the Father He enveloped Himself with an
heavenly atmosphere, and within this enclosure He kept
Himself all the day. That holy awe, that sacred reverence,
that spirit of worship, that heavenly unction which He
gathered to His soul in those prayers He kept within Him
all the day. He gathered fresh food every night and
morning. Thus we are to live by Christ.
