The Large and small cross

I see before me a vast sea of water.
The scene cries out “I have Christ in my life, do you see him?”
No Is the clear answer.
But the scene insists, “Look, I do have Christ in my life”.
With that statement the scene pushes the water apart with a great effort and makes a dry area by holding back the waters. In the dry area is a small cross.
The scene restates “Look, you can now see Christ in my life.”

In the second scene the waters are the same only this time there is a large cross towering in the middle of the scene.
The statement “Look, do you see Christ in my life” doesn’t need to be said as he can be clearly be seen.

Both scenes are a picture of a Christian.
The waters are life’s trials and troubles.
The cross is Christ in our lives.
We all start off with a small cross at the beginning. But does Christ stay that way?
If he does then it takes an effort to show him in our lives. We have to push back the waters to show Christ in our lives. This can be hard work and needs to be done all the time when the cross is below the surface of the waters.
However, if the cross is in place then it is in place even if it can’t be seen.

As we follow Christ’s prompting’s we can see the cross grow.
As the cross grows there is no longer any need to hold the waters back but just allow them to flow around at the Base of the cross.

The question is how big is Christ in your life?
Is he below the surface of the water or is he towering in the skies?
Whatever size he is, the good news is, he can always grow bigger!

We just need to let him have his way and follow his promoting.
