—Colossians 1:24-29
by: Victoria Shephard.
“Christ in you, the hope of glory” (v. 27). What a beautiful phrase! What a beautiful truth! Because Christ dwells in us, we have hope; hope in this life of the glory we will one day have in heaven. We do not mourn in the same way for the death of Christians as non-Christians, because we know we will see them again. We should “not grieve as do the rest who have no hope” (1 Thessalonians 4:13). This hope is not for Jews only, but for Gentiles, too. God has made us part of his covenant community.
