As we move through the Christmas season, we celebrate life. Charles Fillmore, co-founder of the Unity movement, taught life as one of the powers with which we are born. The power of life is the ability to energize, vitalize and enliven. Christmas time is a wonderful opportunity to be in the question of what am I giving life to?
As Christians we are called to give life to the Spirit of Christ within. You might be wondering just what that means! We are told in Philippians 2:5, “Keep this mind in you which was also in Christ Jesus.” 1 Corinthians 2:16 tells us, “But we have the mind of Christ.” What does it mean to have the mind of Christ?
Jesus fully understood that he and the Father were one. In that space of being One, there was no need for an intermediary to God. He knew he had direct access to God by turning within and being still. He gave life to the Spirit of Christ by becoming Christ in expression.
To become Christ in expression means to become the highest expression of You! Do not shrink back from the task of experiencing your unique Spirit of Christ. Remember Jesus told us, “You are the Light of the World!”
May you have a blessed Christmas!
