OUR GLORIOUS HOPE
July 5, 2023
“When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory.” – Colossians 3:4
Today’s key verse from Colossians presents a breathtaking glimpse into the future hope that believers possess in Jesus Christ. It reminds us that our lives are intricately bound to Christ, and as we await His glorious return, we are assured of our own future appearance with Him in all His splendor.
In the midst of the challenges and uncertainties of this world, it can be easy to lose sight of the ultimate hope that we have as followers of Christ. We may be tempted to focus solely on our present circumstances and struggles, forgetting the glorious future that awaits us.
However, Colossians 3:4 calls us to shift our perspective and fix our eyes on the truth that Christ is our life. Our identity, purpose, and ultimate destiny are found in Him. Our lives are not limited to this earthly existence alone, but rather, they are intertwined with the eternal purposes of God.
When Christ returns, we will be united with Him in a glorious display of His majesty. We will experience the fullness of His presence, forever freed from the limitations of sin and suffering. This future hope brings comfort, encouragement, and a sense of purpose to our daily lives.
As we eagerly anticipate Christ’s return, we are called to live in light of this hope. Our thoughts, attitudes, and actions should reflect our identity as those who belong to Christ. We are to pursue righteousness, love, and obedience, seeking to align our lives with His will.
This hope also brings a sense of urgency to our mission as believers. We are called to share the good news of Christ’s salvation with others, so they too can experience the hope and assurance that we have in Him. Our lives should bear witness to the transformative power of Christ, pointing others to the glorious hope that awaits them.
Take a moment to reflect on the hope of Colossians 3:4. Allow it to fill you with renewed purpose and anticipation. May it inspire you to live each day with a heavenly perspective, eagerly awaiting the return of our Savior. Let this hope shape your thoughts, actions, and interactions, as you strive to bring glory to God in all that you do.
