RHAPSODY OF REALITIES

CHRIST...OUR HOME! 

SAT., FEBRUARY 21ST, 2015.

For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his (Hebrews 4:10). 

One day, some of the disciples of John the Baptist came to Jesus and were surprised to see that He had a house, unlike John the Baptist, who often lived in the wilderness, eating locusts and wild honey. These disciples of John stayed with Jesus throughout the day, asking questions about the Kingdom and having Jesus answer their questions. When it was nighttime, rather than go back to John, they stayed with Jesus 
You'd have thought they'd return to John the next day, but no; they continued with Jesus and became His disciples; why? They had come home. That was what their soul had been searching for. Christ is our home. To be in Christ is to find rest for your soul; He's your peaceful habitation. 
Our opening verse says, "For he that is entered into his rest, he also hath ceased from his own works, as God did from his" (Hebrews 4:10). Christ is the real deal; He's God Himself. It doesn't get better than that. He's a person and He's also a place - our place in God. To be a Christian means you've come into Christ. 2 Corinthians 5:17 talks about being in Christ: "...if any man be in Christ..."; that's the place! You came home, into Christ, when you were born again. No wonder the Bible says in Him we live (Acts 17:28).
Ephesians 2:6 tells us that God has made us sit together in heavenly places, "in Christ"; that's your home; that's your environment; that's your place! So when you say, "I'm in Christ", it means you're at home. This is Christianity; you've been immersed into Christ. What a place; what a home - where there's no sin, sickness, disease, failure, poverty, defeat, weakness or death! Rather, all you have is health, joy, peace, success, strength, prosperity, beauty, and life forevermore! 

PRAYER:
Dear Father, I thank you for making me to sit together in heavenly places in Christ! Not only does Christ live in me, He's also my home, and the environment from which I function. Christ is my glory, my health, wealth, wisdom, righteousness, and my all! In Him I live, and move, and have my being.

FURTHER STUDY: 
★1 Corinthians 1:30(CEV)
You are God's children. He sent Christ Jesus to save us and to make us wise, acceptable, and holy.
★Acts 17:28(CEV)
And he gives us the power to live, to move, and to be who we are. “We are his children,” just as some of your poets have said.
★Colossians 1:26-27(CEV)
For ages and ages this message was kept secret from everyone, but now it has been explained to God's people. 
27 God did this because he wanted you Gentiles to understand his wonderful and glorious mystery. And the mystery is that Christ lives in you, and he is your hope of sharing in God's glory.
