“For me to live is Christ!” But very specifically that must mean: “For me to live is Christ’s mission.” Jesus explained his mission as “As the Father has sent me,” Jesus said, “so send I you.”
That means living a life that is “Christ for others.” If I am not Christ for others, I am not Christ at all. If I can really say, “It is not I who lives, but Christ who lives in me,” then I must live for others.
There is only one kind of Christ who lives, and that is the Christ for others.
If he is alive in me, he will be alive for others.
Have you been Christ to another today?
