"To the saints and faithful brothers in Christ at Colossae: Grace to you and peace from God our Father" - Colossians 1:2
What a joy to know that in Christ I have been elevated to sainthood. The fellowship of the saints is God’s family. Even as our experiences of an earthly family may be a combination of blessing and trial, the eternal family is God’s idea and we, the followers of Christ are part of it. Jesus is the head and we, the church, are the bride. We, the saints, are the holy partakers of this perfect union. Our understanding and imagination cannot fathom that. I can’t. But as the Bible says that we see only in part now, but in heaven we’ll see fully, we'll not only understand this, but we'll enjoy it. We should allow our hearts to be filled with hope and eagerness when we think of that. What a joy to enjoy this in the land of the living. What a joy to have this time to get ready for such an event! Let us faithfully continue pursuing godliness. Sainthood is our last name. How awesome is that? When God looks at me He delights on Jesus’ righteousness & loveliness on me, just as a dad delights on her daughter. Lord please make our hearts bubble up in continuous praise as we ponder on this truth.
