Colossians 1:27. "To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you the hope of glory:" CHRIST IN YOU. This is not a hidden secret for just a favored chosen few; God has intended this to be a fact for all the saints. In the past and even now, some people say, "Pray through, So, you can be one Christ gives a special strength." But that is not really how the matter is - Through Christ what was hidden has come to light. We are not our own, we have been paid for at a great price - Now the mystery is clear: Christ is in us - He is our life.
God's plan is to have Christ in us - He is the "hope of glory," For those who know Him, He is not hidden from our view. This is one of the most blessed truths of redemption's story - Through the Spirit of God, Christ comes to dwell in you. We do not have to schedule appointments to connect with Him, He abides with us and in us - that the Master's plan. This holy calling when we are conscious of it, keeps our hearts from sin - Imagine! God is pleased to come and to dwell in man.
There is a reason behind this: God's glory He will unfold.
In every part of the world, Christ is in human flesh displayed. Not visible on His own physical body as happened years ago, But in saints He set apart, He shows to all His grace. Faithful amidst unfaithfulness; truth amidst the false - God's people live the "hope of glory" by living day by day; And responding to His will whenever He them calls - To show the "hope of glory" in all they do and say.
"Father in heaven, it was made known to me, the reality of Thy Gospel, in those I knew who were genuine believers. Family members, and Christians I knew around us - all left an impression. I didn't know at that time what exactly was the reason they were different from most people, but now I know; it was Christ in them. He was real to them, and to me now, and I thank Thee, in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen."
