I found a wonderful little book at the local thrift shop: THE SAVING LIFE OF CHRIST, by Major W. Ian Thomas, Zondervan Books, 1961. Here’s a quote about the contrast and complementary nature of “in Christ,” and “Christ in you.”
“To be in Christ – that is redemption; but for Christ to be in you – that is sanctification! To be in Christ – that makes you fit for heaven; but for Christ to be in you that makes you fit for earth! To be in Christ – that changes your destination; but for Christ to be in you – that changes your destiny! The one makes heaven your home – the other makes this world His workshop.”
That certainly puts it all into perspective, doesn’t it?
