Colossians 1:26-27 tells us that CHRIST in us is our
HOPE. The ANCHOR and ASSURANCE of our salvation, so that we may walk in
faith and have victory in every situation, and mostly to come boldly to the
throne of Grace and in communion with our God and Father daily, without fear.
Not imagination, but rather The REAL PRESENCE OF CHRIST JESUS in us
and us in Him. That Holy Spirit sanctifying us so that we can obtain the
prize and glory of HIS More Abundant Blessed LIFE. Walking in and by His
Love and Grace, Faith and Hope.
Even before we See the manifestation of the victory, we see
Jesus, and Hope carries us on so that we Enter into the Glory of Jesus. We are swallowed up in His Life and
Godliness. We are Overcomers because
Jesus has already overcome the world and has gone before us to destroy the
devil and its works.
Today we declare this Victory, and declare His Righteousness
in every place. His Government
abounding. But even if we can’t “see”
the victory yet, we by hope and faith and grace walk on anchored in His love.
CHRIST IN US is OUR ANCHOR……Our Assurance to Obtain His
Glory… This HOPE is our Confidence that what He has Purposed for us, He
Will Accomplish it, and we obtain it.
Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ; nevertheless I
live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the
flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for
me.
Colossians 1:12-25
12 Giving thanks unto the Father,
which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in
light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the
power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption
through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15 Who is the image of the
invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16 For by him were all things
created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible,
whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things
were created by him, and for him:
17 And he is before all things,
and by him all things consist.
18 And he is the head of the
body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in
all things he might have the preeminence.
19 For it pleased the Father that
in him should all fulness dwell;
20 And, having made peace through
the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I
say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
21 And you, that were sometime
alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22 In the body of his flesh
through death, to present you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his
sight: 23 If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved
away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached
to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister;
24 Who now rejoice in my
sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions of
Christ in my flesh for his body's sake, which is the church:
25 Whereof I am made a minister,
according to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfil
the word of God;
26 Even the mystery which hath
been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his
saints:
27 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:
28 Whom we preach, warning every
man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man
perfect in Christ Jesus: 29 Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his
working, which worketh in me mightily.
HOPE is our confidence. Christ Jesus In Us is our assurance and hope. He is able to sustain us, and bring us to the
fullness of what the Father has purposed for us, in Himself.
Amen.
