Christ is All in All

Our union with Christ influences every dimension of the Christian life. When we worship, Christ is not only the audience of our songs, but through his Spirit he is also the singer (Eph. 5:18-20). When his servants preach, he is not only the witness of the sermon but the proclaimer (2 Cor 4:5-7; 5:20; 2 Tim 4:1-2). When we serve, he is not only the object of our service but the enabler (Phil. 4:13). When we pray, he is not only the Lord whom we seek but the One who speaks.
