As Christians, we’re ‘vessels’ with the capacity to contain God in all His fullness. When Jesus walked the earth, He was the fullness of God encased in a human body: the fullness of the Godhead dwelt in Him bodily (Colossians 2:9). John 1:14 says "And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.” He came to dwell among us, to show us that we too have the capacity to contain God: “of his fullness all we received, and grace for grace.”

 

If you’re born again, Christ dwells in you in His fullness through the Holy Spirit. You’ve thus become a God-carrying vessel; a bearer of divinity. You carry God everywhere you go. He shows up in you because you’re His living tabernacle: “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?”(1 Corinthians 3:16). You’re a God-conveyor; you make manifest the savour of His knowledge and glory in every place (2 Corinthians 2:14). His presence is evident in your words and deeds, for He has sent you as the effulgence of His glory to your world.

 

Jesus said in John 14:9 “…he that hath seen me hath seen the Father…” because He was the express image of the Father’s Person; the effulgence of His glory. When you received Christ, you didn’t receive a part of Him; you received the totality of divinity. You now have the life, nature and character of God, and have become a partaker of the divine nature.

 

God manifests His love, power, compassion and grace to the world today through you. So like Jesus, you too can say, “He that has seen me, has seen the Father.” 1 John 4:17 says as He is, so are we in this world. We’re like Him; born anew, in His image and in His likeness. This is great news! Sickness and disease shouldn’t have a place in your body because you’re the temple of the Holy Spirit. You’re a God-conveyor, a bearer of the divine order. Blessed be God!
