*THE HOPE OF GLORY*
COLOSSIANS 1:19-29
_“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”_ (Col. 1:27).
It’s easy to focus on all of our problems. *Sickness can demand our attention. Family issues, stress at work, and a multitude of other things vie for our concentration every day*. Regardless of what’s happening to us in the natural, our spiritual condition never changes. *Once we’re born again, the Spirit of Christ comes, dwells in us (Rom. 8:9), and never leaves* (Heb. 13:5).
*Directing our thoughts to the indwelling presence of Christ is one of our strongest weapons against hopelessness, depression, fear, and unbelief.* As we become totally convinced that *Jesus is in us—in all of His power, love, and authority—how can anything or anyone prevail against us? “The LORD is on my side; I will not fear: what can man do unto me?”* (Ps. 118:6).
Most Christians have knowledge that Christ dwells in them, but it’s not an experiential knowledge that impacts them on a daily basis. In reality, what they see with their physical eyes seems more real to them than the unseen spiritual truths. Yet, the reality of Christ in us should overwhelm any and all of our physical problems. *The benefits of having God Almighty living in us are not automatic; we must appropriate those benefits by focusing our thoughts on Christ in us, instead of the problems around us*. The Lord wants to guide you into this new way of thinking. He wants to show you the riches of the glory of
this mystery. *Receive His help today by dwelling on the truth that Christ—in all His splendor—is in you today and every day. He will never leave you* (Matt. 28:20).
