We serve the ascended and reigning Christ. The world may mock our King. We may disdain his rule by our own sinful rebellion – but the fact is, he reigns. And we can participate in the spread of his kingdom not simply by imitating how he lived while on earth but by making ourselves “holy available” to his dynamic, life-transforming presence within us, by letting him change the way we see, think, feel hear, speak, and serve. It’s the life of Christ in us, continuing his work, exercising his reign, manifesting his presence.

The subtitle – ‘What If Holiness Is About More Than What We Don’t Do?’, caught my attention.
I remember a few years back, after I had gone through a major turn in my Christianity, I was with some friends who had not had the major turn. They were still doing some of the things I no longer did. I remember thinking that this change in me had to be more about the good I now do that the bad I no longer do – that there had to be more to this new life than the things I no longer did.
