Morning by Morning, December 22 - Christ is Born in Us and We’re Born Again in Christ
Good morning, Lord Jesus. You are the Word made Flesh. And I welcome Your Word here in my heart, to ponder and pray Your Word in my heart today. ...
“And (Mary) gave birth to her firstborn Son and wrapped Him in bands of cloth, and laid Him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn” (Luke 2:7).
Mary opened her womb to Your Holy Spirit, that You could come into this world as Lord and Savior to be born in her. Her response to Your invitation through the angel was, “Let it be with me according to your word” (Luke 1:38).
And just as Mary opened her womb, so You invite each one of us to open our hearts to Your Holy Spirit, that You may come into our world to be born in us as our personal Lord and Savior. You invite each of us to say to You, like Mary said to the angel, “Let it be with me according to Your Word.”
When we do, Your Holy Spirit enters our human spirits, as the heart of God comes into our hearts, so that we’re born by the Spirit to live “in the Spirit” instead of living in merely in our flesh, according to Your Word:
“But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to Him. But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through His Spirit that dwells in you” (Romans 8:9-11).
“Spirit of Christ,” be born in us -- be born in me and every heart that’s opened to You. When You’re born in us, we’re born again in You (John 3:3). And when we’re born again in You, You come and live Your life in our world through us. “When Christ who is (our) life is revealed, then (we) also will be revealed with Him in glory” (Colossians 3:4). “Christ in (us),” who is the Spirit of Christ in us, “the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27).
Born in me, I’m born again in You. Come shine with the Light of Your hope and Your glory through me today and every day. Let it be with me according to Your Word. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
