Reflections Along the Jesus Way
June 18, 2024 – Quote for the Day:
“Margaret Thatcher, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom from 1979-1990, was the longest-serving British Prime Minister of the 20th century. While she was in office Mrs. Thatcher visited a home for seniors, the kind of place referred to as an ‘old folk’s home.’ As she made the rounds shaking hands, she came to an older lady who seemed to be suffering from dementia. She gave no indication that she had any idea that she was shaking hands with the Prime Minister.
Mrs. Thatcher asked the woman, ‘Do you know who I am?’
The dear lady replied, ‘No dear, but if you really want to know you can ask the nurse. She usually knows.’
I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. – Galatians 2:20
When God draws us to himself, he enables us by his grace to discover and know his unconditional love. Then, when we have been empowered by that same grace, we absolutely trust him and we are then given a new identity in Christ. His grace propels and energizes us to willingly set aside and discard who we have been and what we have done, counting it all as so much rubbish (Philippians 3:7-11), that we may be known of God and that we may be in Christ and he in us. If you want to know who you are, ask Jesus!”
