SUNDAY CHOICE: What does it mean “In Christ Alone”? – By Charles Schokman Being in Christ alone means we sacrifice self to submit entirely to Him, and we expel anything from our lives that make us put our hope and faith elsewhere. St Paul had this to say- (1 Corinthians 15:1) “Now I make known to you, brethren, the gospel which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, In Christ alone!” Our Hope in Christ Alone is further expounded in Psalm 62. “1 For God alone my soul waits in silence; from him comes my salvation. 2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress; I shall not be greatly shaken. 3 How long will all of you attack a man, to batter him, like a leaning wall, a tottering fence? 4 They only plan to thrust him down from his high position. They take pleasure in falsehood. They bless with their mouths, but inwardly, they curse. 5 For God alone, O my soul, wait in silence, for my hope is ...
