Jesus Adjective Exercise (continued)

I hope the first part of the exercise blessed you as much as it has me, especially as I have listened to friends and family share their three adjectives and why they picked them. Each time was a glorious sharing of Jesus' love and sufficiency in so many lives. If you feel so led, please comment and share your three. I will share mine in a later post.
I was going to take three posts to share the exercise, but I decided to do it in two so there here is the remaining parts.

Read the continuation of the paragraph from the last post. It is a question and answer. Meditate on what the Lord has provided to you through His life and His Spirit in you.

". . . this Christ has chosen to place all of His fullness where?
Inside of you! To [you] God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."

Do you believe the fullness of Christ through the Holy Spirit is in you? If so, how does it work itself out in how you love Christ and all He has done for and in you?

When you have meditated on the question and answer, read the partial devotional below and meditate on the bolded sentences.
My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers - A Life of Pure and Holy Sacrifice
Sep 02 2010
He who believes in Me . . . out of his heart will flow . . . —John 7:38
Jesus did not say, “He who believes in Me will realize all the blessings of the fullness of God,” but, in essence, “He who believes in Me will have everything he receives escape out of him.” Our Lord’s teaching was always anti-self-realization. His purpose is not the development of a person— His purpose is to make a person exactly like Himself, and the Son of God is characterized by self-expenditure. If we believe in Jesus, it is not what we gain but what He pours through us that really counts. God’s purpose is not simply to make us beautiful, plump grapes, but to make us grapes so that He may squeeze the sweetness out of us. Our spiritual life cannot be measured by success as the world measures it, but only by what God pours through us— and we cannot measure that at all.
Suggestion: Get a copy of My Utmost for His Highest and read the rest of this devotional.
Mike’s comment –
So, Jesus Christ is all the adjectives above and has given them to us through His life in us. It is not for us, but so His life which is like living water can be ‘poured’ out, ‘poured’ over and flow into other people. Amen!

Contemplate the adjectives for Jesus and pick out three (3) which made an impression on you. Highlight them in your mind, consider why these impressed you and how Jesus fulfills these in your life. If I was a betting man (and I am not) I would bet if you shared it would be a glorious word of your love for Him and what He has done in your life.

We will continue with the part two of the exercise in the next posting.
