The normal Christian life. ( Psalm 119 v 105 )

It was Watchman Nee who wrote a book called the ,'The normal Christian life',Barry Webb writing about Peter and companions in John 21 ,how they were exhausted- physically and emotionally, when everything had become too intense for them. They just wanted to be normal for a while. But the reality is that they,and we , are not not meant to be' normal' people, and we won't be happy trying to be so.'Yes we live a life that has much the same normality as the non- Christian,but because Christ lives in us that means that we are not to be be conformed to the ways of the non- Christian. In Matthew 4 our Lord was tempted by Satan in three ways ,to turn stones into bread, our Lord had been fasting for 40 days,don't anyone try that,yes fast but not for 40 days.He was famished,and the devil comes and tempts Him to turn stones into bread. Why not He was very , very hungry,surely it was a good reason to do this.But He didn't ,here is what He said,'It is written', meaning, in Gods word, People live lives with no reference to Gods  word. To them it is not normal,but to those who follow Jesus, it is part of the normal Christians life.(We will consider what was written tomorrow)
