0735. HIS SON IN ME

HIS SON IN ME

"It pleased God to reveal His Son in me" (Gal_1:15-16).

What a revelation! Paul had Christ revealed to him on the way to Damascus. Now he speaks of Christ revealed in him. What a change! The image of the invisible God begotten in him! What a mystery! What a reality! His Son in me, in the gentleness and meekness of His gracious character. His Son in me in His love for perishing sinners. His Son in me in His patience in suffering. His Son in me in His faithfulness to the truth. His Son in me in His delight to do the will of God the Father. His Son in me! This is the death-warrant to pride, self-seeking, and every unhallowed lust; to all backbiting and every impure motive. His Son in me-this is the secret of consecration, and of a life of power and fruitfulness for God. "I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me."
