We Share in the Glory of Jesus
Text: _There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory._ (1 Cor. 15:41 NKJ)
Jesus is an embodiment of the glory of God (John 1:13-14). He reflected glory while bodily on earth. However, God has called us to partake of His glory in Christ Jesus (John 17:22-26). When we were born-again, we were immersed in the nature of God in Christ and Christ is the glory of God (Heb. 1:2-3). We were born into the glory of God the moment we accepted Jesus as our Saviour. Every believer, therefore, is to shine with the light of God’s glory, just as the stars of heaven. The Lord expects us now, on the earth, to increase in glory progressively until our light becomes full blown, fully Christ on the earth.
The degree of glory you are living in right now is defined by how Christ-like your life is. Remember that Christ is the glory of God. Our personal experience of the life of Christ and the expression of His Person through us define our level of glory. Your calling to glory includes both your experience of the divine nature and your expression of that nature, only a mere write-up on posters in burial announcements and programs. For example, God is never broke, sick, depressed, etc. Instead, in His presence there is the fullness of joy. Your call to glory is to share and enjoy the very life that God is living right now. As you do this you become an expression of His Person, as the light that is shining on the earth right now! Let the glory of God in your life continue to increase, brighter and brighter each day. Continue feeding on the Word and have fellowship with God in prayer to move constantly from one level of glory to another.
PRAY:
Thank the Lord for calling you into His glory.
