We have found the Christ who’s all in all

Oh Lord how full of glory and joy you are!

a. The Spirit

---------------

Second Corinthians 3:17 says, “The Lord is the Spirit; and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. ” This verse tells us first that the Lord is the Spirit; this proves that the Lord and the Spirit are one. Yet the verse goes on to speak of the Spirit of the Lord; this seems to show that the Spirit and the Lord are two. The expression the Spirit of the Lord, however, indicates that the Spirit and the Lord are in apposition to each other. This shows that the Spirit is the Lord and the Lord is the Spirit and that the Spirit and the Lord are one. The Spirit of the Lord is actually one with the Lord.

(1) The Lord
Being the Spirit
-----------------

According to the context of 2 Corinthians 3:17 , the Lord here must refer to Christ the Lord (2:12 , 14-15 , 17 ; 3:3-4 , 14 , 16 ; 4:5). This then is a strong word in the Bible telling us emphatically that Christ is the Spirit. “The Lord Christ of v. 16 is the Spirit who pervades and animates the new covenant of which we are ministers (v. 6), and the ministration of which is with glory (v. 8). Compare Rom. 8:9-11 ; John 14:16 , 18 ” (Vincent). “The Lord of verse 16 , is the Spirit…which giveth life, v. 6 : meaning, ‘the Lord, ’ as here spoken of, ‘Christ, ’ ‘is the Spirit, ’ is identical with the Holy Spirit…Christ, here, is the Spirit of Christ” (Alford). “All that transforming and indwelling Spirit is Christ Himself. ‘The Lord is the Spirit’” (Williston Walker).

The Conclusion of the
New Testament:
Experiencing, Enjoying,
and Expressing Christ,
Message 316 (LSM)

Praise the Lord! We have found the Christ who’s all in all; He is everything to us. He is always available and sweet. Our Intimacy with Christ is Not a distant Savior, but One who lives within. His nearness is more satisfying than anything else.

Psalm 133:1 
Behold,  how good and how pleasant it is
For brothers to dwell in unity!

Hallelujah! Meeting with the saints is greatest joy on earth. It is Unspeakable Joy and full of Glory. We can truly enjoy the abundant life of Christ through the saints that caused us to encourage and strengthen one another. Praise the Lord 😀

We have found the Christ who’s all in all;
He is everything to us;
O how blest upon His name to call,
How divine, how glorious!

It has always impressed me that the half has never yet been told. How can this be? When we're abiding in the Lord and taking Him as our food and drink, even as our breath, together with the members of His body, there is a joy so full that it consumes us, saturates us and overflows from us. It transcends all understanding and is unspeakable. No words can sufficiently describe it. And this joy unspeakable is less than half? There's more? The half has never yet been told? Oh hallelujah! Praise the Lord for joy unspeakable! Praise Him for such a hope! How glorious this hope for us. Lord, we yearn for the day we experience the full revelation of unspeakable joy and glory and all the riches of You! Praise you Lord Jesus.

Oh what a joy & full of glory, that I have found Christ as my all in all & everything to me! How divine & glorious to call on His name continually!

I have found that Christ as the Spirit who dwells in my spirit, is so available, near & sweet constantly!

Praise the Lord! It's so joyful to sing this hymn, especially when we sing it together with all the saints in the meeting.

Our Lord is the Lord of joy, He wants His joy to be in us, and that our joy may be made full.

It is joy unspeakable and full of glory, and the half has never yet been told!

Saints, let us all together run the race with unspeakable joy and full of glory until we reach the goal (the half that has never yet been told), which is our growth in life unto maturity, to be His bride, to consummate the New Jerusalem.

Here our joy will not only be full, but we with God will have joy to the fullest. Amen!

We have found the Christ who is all in all! I sang this song in the 70’s and I can testify that the half can not be fancied. No matter what Christ we gain in this life, it is only a foretaste of His glory divine. The totality of Christ is unspeakable!!

Oh the unsearchable riches of Christ! In them we find joy that is unspeakable and full of glory! And that's not the end, the half has never yet been told! Amen

We have found the way to live by chirist
