A Question of Pregnancy

 Christ in me, my hope of glory....(Col. 1:27)

What good is it if Mary is full of grace, if we are not also full of grace?  And what good is it if Mary is the Mother of God, if we are not also the mothers of God? (Meister Eckhart)

It is not a question of our doctrine or church membership, but whether Christ is dwelling in us through the power of the Holy Spirit.  In the same way that Mary was "overshadowed" by the Holy Spirit, and the Son of God began to grow in her, so we also must be overshadowed by the Spirit in order that Christ begin to dwell in us.

And if He indeed dwells in us, then He will certainly do in us the work of the Father and continue the mission for which He was sent.  

We need not wonder what it is we are supposed to do today or tomorrow if Christ is dwelling in us and we allow Him the freedom to do in us what He wills.
