Swallowed Up

You have brought me, Father, to 2 Cor 5. I am fascinated with the beginning of the chapter.
:4 For indeed while we are in this tent, we groan, being burdened, because we do not want to be unclothed, but to be clothed, in order that what is mortal (my dying body) may be swallowed up by life

But You seem to be saying to me today that even now, Jesus is taking out the deadness, the darkness of our unrenewed mind. He is swallowing up the part of us, our soul part that is companion to this mortal body.

Our spirit will have a body to match its own perfection that right now is “in Him”, Our Christ. For He is the One Who already has been resurrected, who has returned to His Father, and His body eternal has been returned to Him.

He “swallows up” our mortal body’s soul by His life, His light, His truth that transforms us from within to His image.

Our mind, our will, and our emotions are being renewed to truth. They are brought under the dominion of Christ, Our Risen and Living Lord, who “swallows” up wrong thinking, wrong believing and all darkness by His glorious light. I am being swallowed up by His life.

To Him be the glory, power, and majesty forever and forever.
