"Reproducing Christ in the Earth!"

           "Truly, Truly I say to you, unless the grain of wheat falls into the ground and dies, it abides alone; but if it dies, it bears much fruit."
                                                                                  (John 12:24)

When we hear the word "reproduction" most often our minds go straight to sexual intercourse and making babies. Although that is a major aspect of our roles as humans, the more important role for Christians is their ability not only procreation but their inherent ability to "reproduce Christ" in the earth.

What does it mean to reproduce Christ in the earth? Jesus was the "seed" (the Word of God) that went into the ground and died and was resurrected as a full grown manifestation of God's Word. He was "replicated" by the Holy Spirit as a full portion of the Triune Godhead (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) who was charged with the responsibility of leading and guiding His sons into all truth and righteous.

To replicate something means to become an exact copy of something. There should be no deviation from the original model. As a born again Believer, everyone we engage should experience the fullness of Christ in love, peace and joy. They should be empowered by your grace, power and strength. They should be encouraged by your influence, witness and integrity. They should be enlightened by your wisdom, knowledge and humility. They should be enamored by your faith, patience and righteousness.

At the end of the day, reproducing Christ is simply seeking Him, "hearing" Him and obeying Him. Selah...
