Christ Within


Flesh and spirit are much like water and oil, incompatible in many ways. To give way to the flesh is to quench the Holy Spirit, but stray too far into the spiritual realm and the flesh loses contact with what is temporal.  And so the solution is to discipline the flesh, not ignore it; to honor the body rather than destroy it. Holy wisdom has taken up residence within the fragile vessel of your flesh. Remember Christ has indwelt you by His Spirit.  


Scripture:
"To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27).
