Mind blowing statement from Neil: …we have an even greater advantage in spiritual warfare than the first disciples did…they were with Christ, but we are in Christ.
The disciples saw Jesus face to face, every day, and we have an advantage? How can that be?
Maybe it’s that we have the perspective of what happened at the cross. The disciples experienced it as an unspeakable tragedy first, and afterwards, a victory. What we read as a package of salvation was played out, one episode at a time, for them. Wrapping their minds around the significance of it was a tall order.
Neil also points out that we’re in the same boat with the disciples, though – our problem is one of perspective. We struggle every day, yet we’re already complete in Christ. Like the disciples, it’s a tall order to wrap our minds around that fact.
My prayer today echoes what Neil said, that my eyes may be opened to the rich inheritance of Christ.
I’m going to re-read Ephesians 1:18-20 several times today, too…
