If we have Christ, in Him we have everything

The Word of God says: “We were buried with Christ in baptism and also raised with Him.” (Col 2:12) This is not a literary expression or poetry. This is reality! How we were raised with Christ and how we received a new life is a mystery. There is nothing to think about. Scripture says so and therefore it is reality. God’s Word says: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” and “We are a living temple of the Holy Spirit”. If we are in a state of sanctifying grace, all that Jesus obtained for us at Calvary and all that belongs to Him He gives to us, so it is also ours. If we give ourselves to Him and are united to Him, then if we have Christ, we have all things in Him. St Paul says: “In Him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”

Jesus died on the cross for us and rose from the dead. He is God. At the hour of death, we will meet Him face to face – and we most certainly will! May the power of Christ’s resurrection work in us and the fire of the Holy Spirit burn in us, so that the new life of Jesus, through God’s fire, may have a place in our whole being.
