Reflective Gear: Is it working?
“The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God…. For we who are alive are always being given over to death for Jesus’ sake, so that His life may be revealed in our mortal body.” 2 Corinthians 4:4,4:11
The light of the Gospel is powerful, powerful enough to pierce even those who are totally blinded. So don’t give up on those who have turned their backs on God. Of course, Satan has plans for them; but you have the LIGHT. If you could only see how powerful you really are as a Daughter/Son in the Kingdom of God.
The light of the Gospel is the very Glory of Christ which according to John 17:22 (I have given them the glory that you gave me, that they may be one as we are one.) is GIVEN TO YOU. You now have in your true nature, the very Glory of Christ as an imprint upon your mortal body.
Then notice that His LIFE is being revealed in your mortal body. It doesn’t say that you have to have a transformed or heavenly body to reflect the Glory of Christ. While you are still mortal, Christ has chosen to reveal His Life and His LIGHT within you.
Therefore, be very courageous. By FIAT, Christ has chosen you to be HIS LIGHT and LIFE to an otherwise perishing world. You have the FULL Weight of Heaven behind you!
Don’t leave your church. Don’t waste time hating your boss. Don’t sweat the small stuff, like when someone offends you, or cuts you off in traffic, or arrives 10 minutes late to a meeting.
Reflect the Life of Christ. He is Immortal, and His has revealed His Immortality in your mortal body. You are on a journey toward Immortality, because you can’t stop the progress or mission of God.
Reflect the Light of the Gospel, the very Glory of Christ.
The god of this age can’t do this. In fact, he chose a long time ago to possess the Glory of Christ on his own. And when he found out God wanted to give US His Glory to reveal, Satan became determined to steal, kill, and destroy the very Nature of Light, Love, and Glory of God in us.
Look around you today. Who shares this Light with you? Why not, is it because you haven’t share the light you have with the one who is blind? Come on, you would easily help a blind person cross the street safely, why wouldn’t you share your Light so that they would cease being blind?
How do I get this Glory reflective gear? Ask Him to share His Light with you.
