Exciting! Adam

“The reality of the life of Christ in us astonishes the theoretical theology that attempts to mimic it.” really enjoyed that, neil.  :) very thought provoking. so much of life is mere mimic, isn’t it? what else is there without Christ? man is lost without Him Who IS Life. without Him, there is only man pleasing mimicry. whether it be self-man or other-self-men, it is nevertheless a life that is bound by all that is trapped in worldly wisdom. thank God He has miraculously called us OUT of the mimic and given us His Life that is completely OTHER. we are NEW, ETERNAL and DISTINCT to Him Who gave us His Life, very much outside the mimic. we are able to understand the mimic, for we have been in the life of mimic ourselves. in fact, i venture to say that perhaps we understand the mimic even better now viewing from the outside as opposed to from within where we once were bound.  :) thanx for this spilling-over-spoonful, james!  :) “waiting for life to HAPPEN?” perhaps LIFE doesn’t ‘happen’. perhaps LIFE simply LIVES and we are only disappointed because of what we have been deceived into expecting LIFE to look-like and behave-like. i have learned and continue to learn that Reality from the Life that Lives in and out of YOU and me. :)
