 <\/p>\n

He who has the Son has the Life (1 John 5:12).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Which Life?<\/span><\/p>\n

The Life which became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He who has the Son has the Life.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What Life?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Bread of Life, The Light of Life, the Word of Life \u2014 Who was seen, touched and heard (John 8:12; 1 John 1:1).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He who has the Son has the Life.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whose Life?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Not merely my life, cleaned up and dressed in its Sunday best. This Life is not me, turned around and walking in a better direction. No, this Life is new to me – the new self, the Life of the Son that has replaced my own (Colossians 3:4; Ephesians 4:24; Galatians 2:20).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He who has the Son has the Life.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Where is this Life?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This Life resides within my body, housed in frailty, weakness and imperfection. On the outside, bare and earthen \u2014 on the inside full of glory (2 Timothy 2:20-21; Zechariah 2:5). In the place that once had a heart of stone, I now have a heart for the throne. A new Spirit for the old; a warm heart for the cold (Ezekiel 36:25-27).<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This Life is holy, demanding the most sacred residence hall for His dwelling. It can\u2019t be a habitation I\u2019ve created by perception or posture.This Life doesn\u2019t dwell in houses made by human hands nor can He be served by the way I stand (Acts 7:48; 17:24). This dwell is of His doing. A Holy of Holies. An inner room within me, where the Shekinah Presence abides and everything cries \u201cglory!\u201d (2 Chronicles 7:1-2; Psalm 29:9). A place of brilliance, of fire, of burning. The all-powerful Life encased within an\u00a0all-fallible body.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The breath of the Almighty has given me this Life (Job 33:4). Not just for my lungs. Not just for my mind. Not just for my energy. But for my life.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Why this Life?<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He who has the Son has the Life because the Life of\u00a0the Son now is my Life, too (Colossians 3:4). May I live thus, O Lord. May I live You well.<\/span><\/p>\n
