Christ our sap

The trees of the LORD are full of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which He hath planted; Psalm 104:16

"Without sap the tree cannot flourish or even exist. 
Vitality is essential to a Christian. 
There must be life—The mere name of being a Christian is but a dead thing, we must be filled with the spirit of divine life.

This life is mysterious. 
We do not understand the circulation of the sap, by what force it rises, and by what power it descends again. 
So the life within us is a sacred mystery.

Regeneration is wrought by the Holy Ghost entering into man and becoming man’s life; and this divine life in a believer afterwards feeds upon the flesh and blood of Christ and is thus sustained by divine food, 
Q: but whence it cometh and whither it goeth who shall explain to us?
What a secret thing the sap is! 
Our root is Christ Jesus, and our life is hid in Him; this is the secret of the Lord

*If you talk with Him, he cannot help speaking about Jesus. 
*If you notice his actions you will see that he has been with Jesus. 
--He has so much sap within, that it must fill his conduct and conversation with life." 
Charles Spurgeon
