The Revelation Of Christ In Us · Tuesday, June 25th · Page Visits (1,633) Pastor Chris 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). Hebrews 1:3 describes the Lord Jesus as the express image of the Father; the outshining or effulgence of His glory. He came to reveal the glory of God to us. So, when we preach the Gospel, there’s a purpose to it: it’s the revelation of Christ in us, that we might be the express image of His person and the effulgence of His glory. Spiritual growth, therefore, is determined by the extent to which Christ is revealed or manifested through you. The revelation of Christ in us is much more than an imitation of Christ; it’s understanding and expressing His character; His life and glory. His humanity was to bring us salvation, and show us what we could be, and what we could do. He laid a perfect example for us to follow. He lived to glorify God, and that ought to be your passion and pursuit in life as well. Paul said in Galatians 1:15-16, "But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by his grace, To reveal his Son in me, that I might preach him among the heathen…." There should be a consciousness in your spirit that you’re called to reveal Christ to your world. Everywhere you go, and in everything you do, your goal should be for Christ to be exulted in and through you. Let Him have the dominion over your spirit, soul, and body. The more He gains preeminence over your life, the more His divine will and purposes are fulfilled in and through you. Confession My life is the expression of the glory of God. Christ is exulted in me; His divinity is manifested through me today, as I live to fulfill His purpose and do His perfect will! Thank you Lord, for your wisdom, ability, and power, that are inherent in me, in Jesus’ Name. Amen. f u r t h e r s t u d y: 1 Peter 2:9 (AMP)
