Not an exchanged life, but a grafted life: Christ replaces us by living in us, with us, by us, and through us!
This week we are enjoying the fact that Christ is God’s Beloved, His Favorite, and He is the One who is all and in all in God’s economy – so He replaces everything and everyone else with Himself! In God’s eyes, Christ is the best, and Christ is the One God wants – so all […]
