CHRIST IN YOU MEANS GLORY FULFILLED
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery… which is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27).
The greatest revelation of the New Testament is not just that Jesus Christ died for us but that He resurrected and now lives in us. This is the mystery that was hidden for ages and generations but is now revealed: Christ in you, the hope of glory. Christ in you, the hope of glory means the glory has been realized or fulfilled. It’s not a promise but a present-hour reality.
There’re those who say, “God is great, He’ll never share His glory with anyone.” Yes! He’s great and will not share His glory with the pagan gods, but He did more than share His glory with us: He gave us His glory: “And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one” (John 17:22).
When you received Christ, you received glory. There’s glory in your life. No shame. No reproach. You were brought into the realm of divine possibilities, excellence and victory. Glory is now your life, your nature, and your environment. The Bible says, “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23). That was before Christ came. Christ in you means you’re now the bearer or carrier of God’s presence, power and righteousness. You’re not trying to access glory; you live in it.
This truth should change the way you think, talk, live, and see yourself. You’re not ordinary. You’re a God-carrier. You’re the mobile headquarters of divinity. Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit. Everywhere you go, Christ shows up in you, with you, and through you. This is why you can never be disadvantaged. The One who created the universe lives in you in the fullness of His glory.
Moreover, did you know that you’re the glory of God? Your name is the glory of God. That’s simple to understand because your heavenly Father is described in Ephesians 1:17 as “...the Father of glory....” If Mr Smith is described or introduced as “the father of John,” it means he has a son called John. Glory is who you’ve become in Christ. Your glory life is on. See yourself in the glory. See yourself walking in the glory. See yourself as the glory of God. Hallelujah!
PRAYER: Dear Father, thank you for making me the effulgence of your glory, the expression of your righteousness, and the dispenser of your grace. Thank you for making my life a manifestation of your beauty, presence, power, and excellence. I see myself as your glory, and live the glorious life in Christ, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
