Of all the sermons or Bible lessons I have ever given in some 50 years plus of ministry I would say this is one that has impacted my life personally the most. I have recently listen to it several times and jotted down many notes as to the impact of four Christ-like character qualities given to us in Ephesians chapter 4:1,2 that results in the life of Christ being made manifest in believer's lives. The worthy walk is not me living my life for Christ; the Worthy Walk is Christ living His life through me. I still have a very long ways to go as to dying to self that Christ might live As I have prayerfully pondered this sermon the last few weeks I have prayerfully thought of the words of this hymn:
Not I, but Christ, be honored, loved, exalted;
Not I, but Christ, be seen, be known, be heard;
Not I, but Christ, in every look and action,
Not I, but Christ, in every thought and word.
Oh to be saved from myself dear Lord!
O to be lost in thee!
Oh, that it might be no more I,
but Christ that lives in me!
