Christ, The Hope Of Glory

“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”

READ:COLOSSIANS 1:21-29

MESSAGE:
The hymn, Blessed Assurance, with lyrics by Fanny Crosby and music by Mrs. J. F. Knapp, though written in 1783, still resonates with the heavenly glory that keynotes today’s devotional. Read the first stanza:
Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!
Oh, what a fore-taste of glory divine!
Heir of salvation, purchase of God,
Born or His Spirit, wash’d in His blood.
The presence of Christ in a saved youth brings hope of being with God on the last day. Such a youth is controlled by the dictate of the Holy Spirit, thereby having hope of eternal glory. We were God’s enemies, as sinners by nature and actions. But now, He has reconciled us to Himself through Christ, enabling us to live holy and blameless life. We must abide in the hope that when Christ appears, we shall be like him(1John 3:1-3). If you are yet to have this hope of glory, you need to repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Saviour.

PRAYER:
Oh God, help me to stay anchored in Jesus.

CHALLENGE:
Christ only is our hope of glory.
