Grapes of Eschol!

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your[a] life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. ~ Colossians 3:1-4

The grapes of Eschol are rich and red with the wine of Canaan. It is a choice cluster of our spiritual Canaan in Christ.

  • Ye were raised with Christ.
  • Your life is hid with Christ in God.
  • Ye shall appear with Him in Glory.

This represents the past, present and future of our union with God’s dear son. In each, it is with Christ.

Let us consider the past. We are raised with Christ. Spiritual resurrection is the primary fact of our new life. It is no mere theory or speculation. Every genuine conversion to Christ is a spiritual resurrection (see John 5:25).

Today, my prayer for you and I is that we will show others this primary fact - that we will be living stones.
