GOD’S GLORY IS IN YOU

The Lord Jesus made the remarkable statement above in His prayer to the Father for us, and we know God heard Him. Thus, we have the glory of Jesus but cannot share in His glory. This sounds incredible and silly but it’s the truth of His Word! The Bible says Jesus Christ is the effulgence of the Father’s glory, the express image of His Person Hebrews 1: 3. That’s exactly what we are today, for the Bible says we’re created in His image and in His likeness. You were born to be the glory of God in human nature. Colossians 1:27 says Christ in you, the hope of glory; that doesn’t mean the glory is coming because Christ is in you. Rather, it means the glory has come because Christ is in you. To God be the glory! II Corinthians 3:18 explains that as we look at the glory of God in a mirror, we’re metamorphosed into the same image that we see; and the image we see is the glory of God. So, not only do we have the glory in us, we’re the glory of God. No wonder our heavenly Father is called “the Father of glory”; the Church is the glory of God. That reflection; that glory that you see when you look into the mirror—the Word—is who you really are, and that’s what the church should really be! The revelations communicated to us in the New Testament are the reflections of our identity and glory in Christ Jesus. So, keep looking into the mirror of God; keep studying and meditating on the Word, and as you do, you’ll be constantly transfigured from glory to glory. Even now, rejoice and declare, “I am the glory of God. I … (name) radiate and manifest righteousness, excellence, and grace always; my life is one of ever increasing glory by the power in the prevailing Word of God. Amen!” Prayer: My soul, body and spirit shall radiate His glory Further Reading: II Corinthians 3:10-18 Read through the Bible: Nehemiah 5 & Luke 11
