Christ with you always………………

Jesus said, "I am with you always, even to the end of the world," Matthew 28:20।As Disciples of Christ, we have an unconditional promise from our Lord. ALWAYS! He is with us always. That is to the end of the world. He is with us when we feel like He is and when we don't. That for me is always the hardest, when I know he is with me but I have something in my life blocking the His Love. We all know it is some type of sin, confessed or un-confessed but He is with us just disciplining us.

He is with us when we think about Him and when we don't. In a word, ALWAYS!Christ is with us through His Spirit, the Holy Spirit. When we receive Christ as our Lord and Savior, He enters our lives through the Holy Spirit. Friends may come and go, but He's with us always. Friends may forsake us and others may reject us, but He's with us always. His Spirit abides with us and in us.Christ is with us in our hearts. The primary evidence is love.

The love of Christ is in our hearts. That means we love Him whom we have never seen. It also means that we love people, because He loves them through us.Christ is with us in life and He is with us in death. When Stephen, the first Christian martyr, was dying, he saw a vision of the living Christ. The apostle Paul tells us in the last verse of Romans 8
that nothing, not even death, can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; 16 for in him all things in heaven and on earth were created, things visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or powers—all things have been created through him and for him. 17 He himself is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18 He is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that he might come to have first place in everything. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him God was pleased to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, by making peace through the blood of his cross. 21 And you who were once estranged and hostile in mind, doing evil deeds, 22 he has now reconciled in his fleshly body through death, so as to present you holy and blameless and irreproachable before him— 23 provided that you continue securely established and steadfast in the faith, without shifting from the hope promised by the gospel that you heard, which has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven. I, Paul, became a servant of this gospel." Colassians1: 15-25

Lord Jesus, thank you for being with me always! Praise you Jesus!


CHRIST IN YOU, THE HOPE OF GLORY Colossians
