Colossians 1:27 – Mystified

by northwestjim, posted in Thought For The Day

Colossians 1:27
“… God chose to make known how great …are the riches of the glory of this MYSTERY, which is Christ in you, the HOPE of GLORY”

Strange that MYSTERY and HOPE should describe two sides of the same coin.
Yet, there you have it.

It all comes down to “Christ in you”… and THAT is ASTOUNDING.

How can it be…

  • The power that spoke the heavens and the earth into being…
  • The power of the part of the Red Sea…
  • The power that dropped from heaven and burned the altars covered with water..
  • The power that filled the temple with shekinah glory and smoke…
  • The power that raised Jesus from the dead…

Is in me.

You gotta admit, THATS a mystery.

But it’s a fact.

I don’t get how it exactly works, but I cling to it.

Mystified.
