Christ in us, the Hope of Glory

(Jesus speaking) “If you love Me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Counsellor to be with you forever — the Spirit of truth...He lives with you and will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans; I will come to you.” John 14: 15-18

Jesus Christ said He would never leave us or forsake us. What does this mean?

When Jesus died on the cross and then rose from the dead, He spoke to his followers and told them He would never leave them and He would be with them always, even to the end of the world. A few weeks after He rose from the dead, Jesus rose into heaven where He now sits at the right hand of God His Father.

How can He be with us now? Jesus Christ is with us in that He lives spiritually in our hearts, in the hearts of all true believers in Jesus Christ. You cannot see Him because He is here spiritually. Some day we will see Jesus again when He returns to this earth or when we see Him in heaven. But right now, when you accept Jesus Christ as your Savior and Lord, He comes to live in your heart.

So wherever you go, Jesus Christ is there. He loves you and He hears your prayers in His name. “Christ in us, the hope of glory.” We serve a living Savior and Lord who rose from the dead and now lives in us by the power of His wonderful Holy Spirit. Truly Jesus Christ is with us always, even to the end of the world.

So, this week, let us pray and ask God to

• Help us realize every day that Jesus Christ is with us always
• Bless our loved ones with the knowledge of His love
• Protect and give wisdom to our staff and volunteers here at Global Media Outreach

THANK YOU so much for your prayers. God loves you and so do we!

May God bless you,
