[The Glory Unveiled]
If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied. ( 1 Corinthians 15:19 )
Life stretches beyond this frame of existence whether we are aware or not and whether we believe it or not. But unfortunately, many people think all there is to life is all they can see and interact with. Life is not confined to the space of time that we are allotted to on earth. It goes beyond this reality or existence. The reason why many people’s hopes are short circuited is the fact that their hope is limited to this earth. Our verse of Scripture shows us otherwise, life is not only encased by this earth. As a result of that, our hope should not be limited to this physical scope of reference. Such myopic view of life truncates ones hope. The scripture says if our hope is limited to this life, like the people of this earth, then we are most to be pitied. The person whose hope does not extend beyond this earth is to be pitied but the believer who limits their hope in Christ to this earth is most pitiful. Our hope in Christ extends into eternity. For in Christ and through Him do all things consist. Life extends into eternity and this is why our hope in Christ and our love for Him must go beyond this life. This truth must be our consciousness on daily basis.
Prayer_Bead: Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for the wonderful blessing of hoping in you. Your presence in me is the hope of glory. I believe that there is life after this life and my hope is tied to that consciousness of eternity.
