“To whom
God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the
Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:” Colossians 1:27
Christian hope is both temporal and
eternal. I will talk about our temporal hope; the hope we have in this
terrestrial world today.
The hope is based on the presence of
Christ in us. Christ means the anointed one. Our hope is based on the presence
of the anointed one in our lives. There are implications of this statement which
cumulated into our hope of glory.
1.
The anointed one came to deliver and He lives
on the inside of us. Acts 10:38, “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the
Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were
oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.”
2.
The anointed one is greater than the gods of
this world, and He lives on the inside of us. 1 John 4:4, “Ye are of God,
little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you,
than he that is in the world.”
3.
The anointed one is our teacher and He lives
on the inside of us as “the anointing.” 1 John 2:27, “But the anointing which
ye have received of him abideth in you, and ye need not that any man teach you:
but as the same anointing teacheth you of all things, and is truth, and is no
lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall abide in him.”
4.
The anointed one is true and cannot lie, and
He lives on the inside of us. John 14:6 says, “Jesus saith unto him, I am the
way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.”
Beloved in any situation you find
yourself, be conscious of the fact that you are carrying Christ on the inside
of you and as a result, you have a glorious hope.
Prayer
for today: Christ lives on the inside of me, no situation is impossible for
me to overcome in the name of Jesus.
