Today Our Enjoyment of Christ Is Veiled
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Bible Verses~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1Pet 1: 13 Therefore girding up the loins of your mind and
being sober, set your hope perfectly on the grace being brought
to you at the revelation [unveiling] of Jesus Christ.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Words of Ministry~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Toward the end of verse 13 Peter speaks of the unveiling of
Jesus Christ. At present, we are enjoying the Lord Jesus as a
foretaste under the veil. But the time is coming when the veil
will be taken away. Then we shall be able to declare,
"Hallelujah, I am enjoying the Lord Jesus outside the veil!"
Today we are enjoying grace; however, we are enjoying this grace
under the covering of a veil.
Because we are under a veil with the Lord, others may not be
able to understand what we are doing. We may try to tell them
that we are enjoying Christ. However, they may say that this is
nonsense. Our enjoyment is concealed, and others who do not
share the same experience cannot know anything about it. But one
day the Lord Jesus will be unveiled. Then others will be able to
understand that we have been enjoying the Lord Jesus. This
unveiling will be the coming grace as the consummation of the
full salvation of the Triune God.
If we are not enjoying the Lord Jesus as the foretaste, we shall
not have the hope that He will be unveiled as our full taste.
When we enjoy the foretaste, we have such a hope. We need to set
our hope completely on the grace being brought to us at the
unveiling of Jesus Christ.
