For in Christ there is all of God in a human body; so you have everything when you have Christ, and you are filled with God through your union with Christ. He is the highest Ruler, with authority over every other power.
Dear Ones: God in a Human Body! That is the Master, Jesus Christ. The astonishing fact that God took on a human body and went to the Cross to save us is mind blowing. John 1:1, 14 (NKJV) are the foundation of Paul’s assertion. “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. … And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
During His earth-bound ministry, the disciples of Christ experienced living, eating, and working with Him: God in a human body. What a tremendous and blessed opportunity they had! But, as born-again believers of Christ, we actually have a greater and more intimate experience. We are filled with God through our union with the Lord. First Corinthians 5:17 reveals to us that we become new creations through our union with Him. This is an intimacy that is greater than what the disciples had with Him before the completed work of the Cross.
The benefits of the Cross don’t stop at salvation: a ticket to heaven. But He gave us the right to exercise His authority over all the power of the enemy. Then He added that the evil one could not harm us when we activated and used His authority. WOW! (See Luke 10:19.) Read these verses together and meditate on the overwhelming love of God that is revealed to us through the life of the Master.
Declare: “I believe that Jesus Christ, my Savior, was and is God in a human body. My heart overflows with gratitude and awe as I make this statement. But my intellect is awestruck at His goodness and mercy extended to me in Christ. Thank You, Father, for the Cross and your unfailing love for me, my family, and my nation. You truly are worthy of all praise!” Have a blessed day in Jesus’ name.
