To Regard The Christ

Apostle Grace Lubega

2 Corinthians 5:16(NIV); So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.

The world has laboured to paint a picture of the Christ that is not in full consonance with what the scriptures say.

They paint Him as a good looking man with long flowing hair.

But the Bible says, “There was nothing physically beautiful or majestic about His appearance, nothing to attract us to Him.” (Isaiah 53:2NLT).

The Christ, while He walked the surface of the earth did not have the appearance that the world has tried to create.

The same way they regard the terrestrial (physical) Christ is the same way they regard the celestial (spiritual) Christ.

Right now, the Christ is glorified. You cannot draw glory physically.

Pictures may speak a thousand words, but the person of the Christ goes beyond any words.

Sadly, it is this image that many carry in prayer.

Beloved saint, the true reality of the Christ can only be beheld from within you.

No man should supply your imagination of how the Christ looks.

Christ now lives in the inside of you, child of God. If you are to behold him, let the genesis be from within you.

GOLDEN NUGGET:

The true reality of the Christ can only be beheld from within you.

PRAYER: Father God, I thank You for today; thank You for this light of the knowledge to regard You with the eyes of my spirit. I am cautious of Your presence within me Lord. You are Emmanuel, God with me and in me. Thank You because the inward affirmation of Your Person releases the outward manifestation of Your Presence in everything I do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
