The Daily Word of Righteousness
Christ Is All in All
Him that overcometh will I make a pillar in the temple of my God, and he shall go no more out: and I will write upon him the name of my God, and the name of the city of my God, which is new Jerusalem, which cometh down out of heaven from my God: and I will write upon him my new name. (Revelation 3:12)
The name of the Father is written on the conqueror. The name of the holy city, Jerusalem, is written on the conqueror. Also, the new name of Christ is written on him.
What is the new name of Christ Jesus? We do not know. We do know, however, that as we grow in the Lord He becomes to us all we need and desire.
When we begin as a Christian our understanding of Christ is that He is the Son of God and also the unblemished Lamb who was offered for our sin and who rose again from the dead by the power of the Spirit of God.
As we move ahead on our journey we discover that Christ is our peace, our healing, our wisdom, our strength, our joy, our sanctification, and everything else of lasting value. Gradually He grows in our vision until He becomes larger than the galaxies of the universe. We see that the creation is upheld by the Word of His power.
Still Christ grows in our consciousness.
We are beginning to understand that the Church, the Body of Christ, is the universal expression of Christ Jesus; that the two thousand years of the Christian Era, during which Christ is being formed in the believers, have been for the purpose of magnifying the death and resurrection of Christ in the members of His Body.
Finally we realize that Christ "filleth all in all." He has grown in us and our vision has been enlarged until He who at one time was seen by us as the gentle Teacher of Nazareth has become all that is worthwhile in the universe.
We know now that God intends for the whole creation to become a reflection of the image and glory of the Lord Jesus Christ and that we all shall live and move and have our being in His will and Life.
In Christ Jesus dwells all the fullness of the Godhead in bodily form. He is the visible Revelation of the invisible God and—wonder of wonders—we are being created in Him as part of that revelation!
We are being created a part of His appearing, His forthshining. Christ will return not only with us but also in us. In that Day we shall resemble Christ Jesus, and yet be ourselves. Our personality will be in union with His in such a manner that we will appear as Him and as ourselves—neither personality being confused as to identity.
To be married to the Lamb requires that we lose the right to be ourselves. Our uniqueness is enhanced, but we always and forever will be an integral part of Christ.
He is willing to give up His right to be an individual so you may become part of Him. Are you willing to give up your right to be an individual so He may become part of you?
You are getting the better part of the deal! (from The Conqueror)
