Every Day with Jesus

“…though our outward man perish, yet the inward man is renewed day by day.”  (II Corinthians 4:16)

A gentleman I have known for more than seventy years jokingly told me that it frightens him to look in a mirror because of that wrinkled old man looking back at him. He said he refuses to wear a short sleeved shirt outside the house where someone may see him.

Remember that this epistle was written to Christians. For all of us, saved and lost alike, the outward man is perishing, being afflicted with old age, cancer, heart disease and all sorts of diseases.

On the other hand, when I think of the inward man being renewed every day I think of the little chorus we sang as children: “Every day with Jesus, is sweeter than the day before; every day with Jesus, I love Him more and more. Jesus saves and keeps me and He’s the one I’m living for; every day with Jesus is sweeter than the day before.”
