Christ in Me, the hope of glory

"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." colossians 1:27

What a hope of glory we have...Christ in us, a mystery that God chose to make known to Gentiles. Do you ever stop and pause to think that we as Gentiles could have been left in the dark? But God in his Love and Mercy chose to let this great gospel known to us as well. That He decided, well maybe not decided but as redeemptive history played out, I'm going to open this up to not just Jews but to everyone else. And just like that were able to be grafted in. What a wonderful blessing. We get to know "the riches of the glory of this mystery", and it sure is a mystery sometimes. The gospel so beautifully simplistic, Christ dying for sinners (and all of us are), but also so overwhelming and powerful as we realize just how big our debt is and that we can't, no matter how hard we try, have any part of this grace lest we take just a smigeon of glory away from Christ. My hope and prayer is that as the years continue, Christ will seep into more of our lives to the point where he is truly our everything and all that we live for. Grace and Peace.
