The Hope of Glory

“Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:27 KJV). Whatever dream we have for physical healing or flourishing, financial deliverance or success, rescue or freedom from oppression, survival or rising above the elements, a Pre-Tribulational Rapture, or even the salvation of loved ones —  Jesus Christ alone “is our hope” (1Timothy 1:1 KJV). If anyone or anything is more valuable than Christ to us, then that is our hope. If Jesus is really worth more than everything to me, do I live that way? Am I waiting for Christ to become more popular? Remember, when everyone realizes this truth, it is too late. “Behold, He cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see Him, and they also which pierced Him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so, Amen” (Revelation 1:7 KJV).

Success of Corruption

Why does corruption succeed? It spreads because it has not been stopped by a better alternative. The world gauges success by, If you’re so smart, why aren’t you rich? On the other hand, God measures us by how well we know Him. When evil men surrender to the Truth, corruption is halted one disciple at a time. The LORD’s way is not in the majority in the earth nor does it need a consensus or a quorum for Him to declare victory. He is the Almighty, and it is done, when He says, It is finished. “For the earth shall be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea” (Habakkuk 2:14 KJV).
