PRESENT AND FUTURE GLORY OF TRUE BELIEVERS
TEXT: JOHN 17:22-26
Key verse: “And the glory which Thou gavest Me I have given them; that they may be one,
even as We are one.” (John 17:22).
Christ's final prayers for His true followers before his crucifixion contained a fervent request for believers to behold and partake in His glory. As believers on earth, He has given us the glory His Father gave Him. Christ has put in our uniqueness, honour, and majesty. He has made us incomparable to any other creature of His in this present life. Christians' glory in present life includes:
(i) Power of sonship
(ii) Righteousness and holiness
(iii) Light in the dark world.
(iv) Excellent knowledge of the great God.
(v) Fellowship with the triune God.
(vi) Suffering on just course.
(vii) Protection and accompaniment of angels.
(viii) Anointing of the Holy Spirit
(ix) Love and unity among believers and
(x) Answer to prayers.
Christ has prayed that the believer may be with Him where He is to behold His glory. Beholding Christ glory is being transformed into His glory. The future glory of believers includes the following: Glorious resurrection body, citizenship in the new heaven and earth, the presence and comfort of God, heavenly mansions, crowns, eternal life and joys of God not yet known. Hallelujah!
1 Corinthians 2:9 “Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.”
Thought for the day: Heaven is the final home for true Christians.
Song for the day: Hallelujah is our heavenly language.
Bible reading for the day: Ezekiel 32-33; 1 Peter 1
