"Christ in you: the hope of glory."

Hello To All:

If we are going to be able to comprehend the meaning of: "Christ in you, the hope of glory," then we must be able to comprehend the relationship between the physical realms and the spiritual realms. We learn from the King's Book that God is a Spirit and that His habitation is in the heavens. In one place (Hebrews 4:16 KJV) we are told to "...come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need." We could search the physical realms for all of our days; and we will not find the location of the "throne of grace." God's throne is in the heavens; and, as believers, we enter that throne room every time we pray. So, if we pray daily; then, daily, we cross over into the spiritual realms. The point to be made here, is that, as disciples of Jesus Christ, desiring to experience,
"victorious discipleship in Jesus Christ," we need to recognize that we live and move and have our being in both realms. This reality is most evident in the quote from the King's Book: "Christ in you, the hope of glory." Our Lord Jesus Christ has ascended to His Father's throne room and is seated at His right hand. He also serves as our on-going advocate, before our Heavenly Father, in the very throne room, that we are called to "come boldly unto." Thus, Jesus Christ, currently residing in the spiritual realms, comes and also dwells within us, here, in the physical realms. The King's Book refers to this reality as: "...the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations, but has now been manifested to His saints..." (Please read the entire text at: Colossians 1:25-29.) Part of our on-going discussion, will be to examine this "mystery," and its meaning for our lives. Until next time my beloved brethren, I continue to be:

Your servant and fellow pilgrim,
Elder Theophilus
