When it is Christ that we reveal to others and not what we believe, it will have a lasting effect. As it was the Father's nature and not Jesus' own nature that He revealed to the world as He walked the shores of Galilee, so should it be the nature of our Father Jesus that we reveal. "Then answered Jesus and said unto them. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise" (John 5:19). We reach a place in the Lord where it is no longer what we want but only His will to be done. It is in this place that the real life of the Spirit begins.

Others may run and play, but for you it is accepting His perfect work to be done. When you are walking in the Spirit only the Lord's will matters. The greater master potter is bringing the clay into the image of His son.

Paul went as far as to say that Jesus' faith was what he was living by. "...and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God . . . " (Galatians 2:20). We can learn even more from II Corinthians 5:1 where he speaks of being dissolved. The earthly house being dissolved into the heavenly eternal house. Not being done away with, but being dissolved into the heavenly. "And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly" (I Corinthians 15:49). We are being changed into that same image from glory to glory that Christ might be revealed in us.
