Christ In You

Col.1:26 the mystery hidden for ages and generations but now revealed to his saints. 27 To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

I was just reading tonight in Colossians and came to this verse again. I had considered this before but it is such an amazing truth.

So all through the ages the mystery of Christ was hidden from people until the New Testament time and then God chose to reveal Christ and all that He is IN US. We are the ones who are the light to the world now. We are the only Jesus that the world will ever see.

Why would God choose us to show His Son to the world? How am I doing at being what the world views as Jesus? I don't know why God would choose me to represent Himself to the world.

We need to live like we are His light. We are salt and light to the world. Salt heals and light reveals truth. Are we doing both of those things?

Just thinking onto the computer. I hope this is an encouragement to you.

We have Hope because we have Christ in us,
Chuck

Thank you so much for starting this blog about what happened to your son. I wanted to see a resurrection on Easter, and God did it! And it wasn't to some far off person that we had no connection with. We do not know you very well, but we went to Grace Bible with you until this summer. Praise the Lord. This brings great encouragement to my heart that God truly still does miraculously heal today.

I was given your blog address just a few days ago and have read it from start to finish. I wrote down all of the Scripture you have quoted and am meditating on them. Your story and words have been such an encouragment to me! I am praying for your son and your family.

Praise God for all He has done in your life and the way He has used this story to glorify Himself!
