“My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”Galatians 2:20 NLT
If Christ lives in me then how would He celebrate a fun afternoon playing games? The Old Testsment made room for festivals, Jesus Himself went to a wedding. We can be so aesthetically pure that we rid our lives of all rich foods. Daniel did a fast when he ate no rich foods. This says there were times when he did eat rich foods. If we were asked today what are rich foods we would probably say they are high in carbohydrates and fats. Would we be right?
This afternoon I played Board game with friends. We ate some junk food. Not a lot but some. One girl brought along some Jaffa chocolate and raspberries , it was very nice. I am glad she took the remains home with her. Another friend brought along cheeses and crackers. I had crisps. We drank water or tea. Such exuberance! I won the game, and enjoyed doing so.
However, we did discuss infant baptism briefly. I gave my view as did others. I left it at that, for now. I will wait for the time to say more. Jesus didn’t confront every person, only those ready to hear or those in authority who needed confronting.
May I walk as He walked! Amen!
