The literal return of Jesus Christ to this earth is something I pray for daily. How much we need him here to put right this sorrowing, suffering world. I want to be a part of that! To be there I have to be under his grace, righteous in his sight, through his transforming power in me. I have to yield willingly - and gladly - to him and him living his life in me so that I put off the old man, and put on the new. Obedience to his laws - the ten commandments and all their spiritual extrapolations - is essential, but I can only do it through him in me.
This is a wonderful study, and I am really enjoying it.
