For the Ride Home

Scripture
•I will put my spirit in you that you may live (Ezekiel 37:14a)
• More than sentinels wait for the dawn, let Israel wait for the LORD. (Psalm 130:6b,5a)
• But if Christ is in you, although the body is dead because of sin, the spirit is alive (Romans 6:10)
• “Lazarus, come out!” The dead man came out, tied hand and foot with burial bands, and his face was wrapped in a cloth. So Jesus said to them,“Untie him and let him go.” (John 11:43,4)
 
Reflection
•How does faith in Jesus change your life?
•Have you ever had a life-giving experience? What was the cause and result?
•How do you experience the daily presence of Jesus in your life?

For the Word of God became a human being that we may become God; and he manifested himself in a body, that we might gain an idea of the invisible Father; and he endured insolence from men, that we might inherit immortality. (Athanasius)1
