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.
