Episode 89. Solus Christus. In Christ Alone (I am not alone).

What “in Christ alone” means to me and how I fight it with the futility of my human nature. I know that sounds a little too weighty.

Maybe this. I fight it with trying to help Christ save me. As if He did not.

I think of “casting shade” as not living as if Christ has completed the story. Bringing things like fear, anxiety, worry in to help me fight a battle that has already been won. Over-exercising verbs like striving, pursuing, chasing goals, ambitions, and earthly measures of spiritual success. Yes, letting the shadow of earthly pursuits darken the spiritual light of my witness to love one another, one by one. By allowing earthly gain to re-define His victory.

Casting shade by looking for grace, faith, redemption, salvation from anyone or anything but Jesus. We look to others for confirmation of our worth.

I cast shade when I turn away His love, when I turn away from opportunities to love others, when I throw darkness on the light He is shining within me.

I cast shade when I do not accept His presence, His power, His sovereignty in my life.

Hebrews 7:25

Therefore he is able to save completely those who come to God through him, because he always lives to intercede for them.
