A Prayer to See Christ as Protector
By Chelsey DeMatteis

“When you love me, you’ll hold my commandments. And I’ll ask the Father, and he will provide you with one other Helper, to be with you ceaselessly, even the Spirit of fact, whom the world can’t obtain, as a result of it neither sees him nor is aware of him. You already know him, for he dwells with you and shall be in you.” John 15-17

Not too long ago I discovered myself in deep thought, pondering all of the attributes of Christ and the way I may share with my 5-year-old son to color a transparent image of who Christ is to him. The primary on my paper was Christ our protector. To comply with was Christ our information, Christ our Redeemer, and naturally, Christ our Savior.

As believers, it may be straightforward to recall all the ways in which Jesus known as us to dwell on this world, love these round us, and how one can do ministry the place He’s positioned us. What I’ve discovered is within the day-to-day, it takes much more effort to recall all that Christ is to us. Partly as a result of it’s arduous to wrap our minds across the unbelievable reward Christ is and all that endured on our behalf, however the primary trigger is we frequently wish to tackle the roles of Christ. It appears simpler within the mundane to think about all I can do somewhat than what Christ does do.

We wish to be the only protector of our individuals and our circumstances, we wish to be the information of our life, we wish to be the redeemer of hardships we face, and we wish to act as Savior.

This jogs my memory of what Jesus spoke to his disciples in John 14. He promised his followers the reward of the Holy Spirit. This promise now meant Christ will dwell in us! And with this reward, He dwells in us to guard, information, convict, and redeem. O’, what an exquisite Savior!!!

“When you love me, you’ll hold my commandments. And I’ll ask the Father, and he will provide you with one other Helper, to be with you ceaselessly, even the Spirit of fact, whom the world can’t obtain, as a result of it neither sees him nor is aware of him. You already know him, for he dwells with you and shall be in you.” John 15-17

As you and I discover ourselves attempting to navigate this world and all that comes together with passing by this place earlier than we attain eternity, I pray we recall what Jesus promised. By means of recalling this promise, I hope it will trigger us to belief the main of the Holy Spirit, look to Christ because the one who protects us each step of the best way, and share the excellent news of this reward to all we encounter.

Let’s pray:

Lord, thanks for the promise of your Holy Spirit. I pray that within the moments I start to do issues in my very own power that I’d recall who You might be
in my life. My solely protector, my solely information, my solely Redeemer, and my solely Savior. Assist me select to dwell from this place, clinging to and sharing the Good Information we’ve acquired due to the cross.In Jesus’ identify, amen.
