*THE BLESSING OF THE NEW TESTAMENT*
Pastor Chris

*To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Colossians 1:27).*

If you’ve ever been to Israel and the Old City of Jerusalem, you’d have heard of or visited the Western Wall, or Wailing Wall. It’s one of the most significant historic sites for the Jewish people. While thousands of people from different nationalities throng the Wailing Wall every year to relish this archeological masterpiece, others religiously journey there to say or recite prayers, hoping their prayers will be answered faster at this site. 

No doubt, the Wailing Wall is an iconic religious site, but God isn’t more there than He is in you. Some are carried away by the idea that if they pray at, let’s say a “prayer mountain,” a forest, or the Wailing Wall, God will hear them more. If that were true, Jesus would have taught about it; He’d have instructed us to pray at the Wailing Wall, but He didn’t. 

The Apostles would have said so too, but they didn’t. In fact, Jesus said, *“…believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father…But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him” (John 4:21-23).*

The inspiration and blessing of the New Testament is in your heart; it’s with you everywhere. The Spirit, through the Apostle Paul, reveals the truth about Christianity—the mystery that was hidden from ages and from generations. That mystery is *“Christ in you, the hope of glory” (Colossians 1:26-27).* This is God’s vision; that’s the reason for the New Testament. Everything you’d ever need in life is in Christ, and Christ is in you; to have Christ is to have everything. 

Henceforth, look into your heart, for that’s where all the answer is. Christ resides in your heart. You’ve already been blessed with all spiritual blessings in Christ *(Ephesians 1:3).* The totality of the character and nature of the man Jesus, all that He represents—His life, power, wisdom, majesty, glory and grace—are all tabernacled in you. This is the blessing of the New Testament. Praise God!

                   *CONFESSION*
*Christ lives in me and He’s endued me with all grace and ability to reign and rule in life. Christ in me is everything; He’s my assurance of a glorious, prosperous, triumphant and quality life. Amen.*        
       
*FURTHER STUDY* 
*Philippians 4:13*
I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

*Colossians 3:1-4*
*1* If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.
*2* Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.
*3* For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
*4* When Christ, [who is] our life, shall appear, then shall ye also appear with him in glory.

*Colossians 1:26-27*
*26* [Even] the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
*27* To whom God would make known what [is] the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
