26 the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been revealed to His saints. 27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. 28 Him we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus. — Colossians 1:26-28
Colossians 1:27 says that Christ in you — in me — is the hope of glory!
Some time ago the Lord showed me that the hope of glory means the hope of the glory of the full extent of all that our Creator God means for us to be. Recently, God revealed to me something even deeper that can connect better in my mind and in the minds of others and it is this:
- Christ in me the hope of righteousness
- Christ in me the hope of love
- Christ in me the hope of wisdom
- Christ in me the hope of purity
- Christ in me the hope of courage
- Christ in me the hope of patience
- Christ in me the hope of joy
- Christ in me the hope of self-control
- Christ in me the hope of goodness
- Christ in me the hope of peace
- Christ in me the hope of gentleness
- Christ in me the hope of faithfulness
- Christ in me the hope of strength
- Christ in me the hope of healing
- Christ in me the hope of being a blessing to others
Christ in me, my hope of glory!
