To the One (It's the Mystery)

Monday, October 28, 2024
"God wanted to make known among the Gentiles the glorious wealth of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." (Colossians 1:27)
Today's is a guest devotional.
"For everyone who has put your faith in Jesus: Jesus died for you so that he might live in you. He is in you. Christian, you are not on your own. Jesus is in you, his strength in you, his wisdom in you, his peace in you, his hope in you.
"Your life is wed to Jesus now and forever. What that means is, you have hope that one day there will be no more struggles with sin, no more struggles with suffering, no more struggles in this fallen world. One day, you will be glorified with Jesus, fully conformed into his image.
"This reality of Christ in you, the hope of glory, is not just for you and me to enjoy, but for you and me to spread among the nations, that more and more people might know the greatness of this mystery, Christ in you, the hope of glory.
"God, I pray over every person who has put their trust in Jesus as Savior and Lord, that they would feel this reality in a fresh way. Lord Jesus, you are leading them, guiding them. Your strength is there for them today in their weakness. Your peace is there for them today to overcome anxiety and worry. Your hope is in them. We don’t live in despair. Your wisdom is in them. They don’t have to walk around in confusion.
"We live in the hope, in the humble confidence, in the joy, and the strength, and the wisdom of Christ. Jesus died for us so that he might live in us, and enable us to experience life to the full."
