Breathe.
Breathe in.
Breathe out.
Now… stop breathing.
Beep…beep
beep…Beep…beep beep.
Do you hear your heart beat? Can you feel your chest rise
and fall? Do you hear it pulsing? That is the sound of life. This small organ beats
over 35 million times a year, pumping one million barrels of blood in a
lifetime. That is what is keeping you alive…
That blood rushing through your body is a symbol of the love of
Jesus Christ. What do I mean by that? Christ shed His OWN blood, actual blood,
live human blood, on a cross so that
our hearts could keep beating, so that we might have life. And now we have a
spiritual heartbeat…one that will never stop…His heart stopped so that ours
could live. Wouldn’t you call that
love?
Beep…beep
beep… Beep…beep beep.
But the thing is when you make a commitment to the one who
died for you, “it is no longer [you] who
live but Christ lives in [you].� (Galatians 2:20) That heartbeat is no
longer your own… it is the heartbeat of Christ. You are no longer yourself, but
an empty vessel for the Son of God to dwell in.
So listen again…
Beep…beep
beep…Beep…beep beep.
That is the sound of the love of
Christ running through your body. That is the sound of true
life…the sound of something greater…the
sound of Christ moving through you for His glory. We
are merely an empty vessel.
Instead of you walking, it is Christ walking; instead of you
talking, it is Christ talking; instead of you loving, it is Christ loving…You are
only the body in which Christ dwells. Are you letting him completely dwell in
you? Are you letting Him be your heartbeat? Are you letting Him run your life?
Beep…I love you…beep beep…I died for you…Beep…I now live in you…beep beep.
It might sound cliché, but are you walking to the
heartbeat of Christ? Because when you are, it is like you are in complete
unison with the heavenly song being played above. And that is the sound of true
life.
