CHRIST IN YOU THE HOPE OF GLORY
INTRODUCTION:
A. MANY TODAY do not UNDERSTAND HOPE because they do not understand the work
Jesus did while on the earth
B. Every action Jesus did while here was for our ultimate redemption
C. Many often feel that God is against them, because they don’t understand
His work:
1. "Who wants all men to be saved and to come to knowledge of the truth."
I
Timothy 2:4
4
Who will have all men to be saved, and to come
unto the knowledge of the truth.
I. HE IS OUR HOPE FOR DELIVERANCE
Colossians 1:13

Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness,
and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
A. It was a common practice for whole populations to be moved into another
country after a war:
1. Example: Northern 10 tribes into Babylon.
B. Three things to see:
1. Through Jesus - we are delivered from darkness, ignorance - into the
light of knowledge:
a. In him we learn what to believe and what to do
Matthew
28:20
20
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the
world. Amen.
2. Through Jesus - we are delivered from the darkness of sin into the light
of holiness
I
John 1:7
7
But if we walk in the light, as he is in the
light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ
his Son cleanseth us from all sin.
a. The power of sin is broken
b. Bad men/women can become good
Romans
8:1

There is therefore now no condemnation to them
which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the
Spirit.
3. Jesus is able to reign in our hearts
II. HE IS OUR HOPE FOR RECONCILIATION TO GOD
Colossians 1:20

And, having made peace through the blood of his
cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether
they be things in earth, or things in heaven.
A. Reconciliation - to bring together
B. Men once estranged now are reconciled
Colossians
1:21,22
21
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies
in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled
22
In the body of his flesh through death, to present
you holy and unblameable and unreproveable in his sight:
III. HE IS OUR HOPE FOR REDEMPTION
Colossians
1:14
14
In whom we have redemption through his blood, even
the forgiveness of sins:
A. This was the primary work of Jesus
Mark 10:45
45
For even the Son of man came not to be ministered
unto, but to minister, and to give his life a ransom for many.
I
Peter 1:18,19
18
Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed
with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation
received by tradition from your fathers;
19
But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a
lamb without blemish and without spot:
Luke
19:10
10
For the Son of man is come to seek and to save
that which was lost.
B. Redemption - "liberation at a cost."
C. God redeemed Israel in Egypt

15:15
15
And thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman
in the land of Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee: therefore I
command thee this thing to day.

But thou shalt remember that thou wast a bondman
in Egypt, and the LORD thy God redeemed thee thence: therefore I command
thee to do this thing.
IV. HE IS OUR HOPE FOR FORGIVENESS

cancellation of an obligation
B. He canceled the bond / the debt, obligation

14
Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that
was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way,
nailing it to his cross;
V. HE IS OUR HOPE FOR HOPE

1:5
5
For the hope which is laid up for you in heaven,
whereof ye heard before in the word of the truth of the gospel;
Colossians
1:27
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:
A. Hope for this world:
1. Sin had men defeated and hopeless:
a. I
Corinthians 6:9-11
9
Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit
the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor
adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind,
10
Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor
revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God.
11
And such were some of you: but ye are washed, but
ye are sanctified, but ye are justified in the name of the Lord Jesus, and
by the Spirit of our God.

9

that cometh into the world.

25
Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised
again for our justification.
I

But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become
the firstfruits of them that slept.
Romans
8:11
11
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from
the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also
quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
Romans 8:23
23
And not only they, but ourselves also, which have
the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves,
waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
John
5:28,29
28
Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the
which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
29
And shall come forth; they that have done good,
unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the
resurrection of damnation.

And ye are complete in him, which is the head of
all principality and power:

Wherefore if ye be dead with Christ from the
rudiments of the world, why, as though living in the world, are ye subject
to ordinances,

The Reason for the Hope
I
Peter 3:15

fear, and let him be your dread.
b. what are the particulars that Peter discusses in this wonderful verse?

After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father
which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name.
B. in your hearts – Christianity is a matter of the heart

sin, but ye have obeyed from the heart that form of doctrine which was
delivered you.

19
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth,
where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal:
20
But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven,
where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break
through nor steal:
21
For where your treasure is, there will your heart
be also.
II. and be ready always to give an answer to every man
that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you:
a. and be ready ALWAYS – (there are many things for which the the Christian
needs to be ready) – examples: marriage; children; death; the judgment.
b. to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that
is in you
Romans
8:24
24
For we are saved by hope: but hope that is seen is
not hope: for what a man seeth, why doth he yet hope for?
Acts
16:30-33
30
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I
do to be saved?
31
And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
32
And they spake unto him the word of the Lord, and
to all that were in his house.

washed their stripes; and was baptized, he and all his, straightway.

earth.
