Colossians 1:27

The message, THE entire message, kept secret for so long, can it really be summed up so easily? To think that for so many generations it was hidden, and for so long people lived without it. Now I know that 'Christ lives IN me'. Through this can I understand everything and be the witness he wants me to be? Will this give me the knowledge I hope to have to spread His word?

Colossians 1:26-28
This message was kept secret for centuries and generations past, but now it has been revealed to God's people.
For God WANTED them to know that the riches and glory of Christ are for you gentiles too. And this is THE secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory.
(capital letters special Elaine additions to add emphasis)

God wants us to know Him- his Word says so. If we ever feel unknowledgeable unworthy of knowing God, of spreading his word. We just need to know we have no need! All we need to feel assured is to know that God himself is in us and that is enough (more than!). Not only is Christ in us, but He LIVES in us. Pretty crazy when you think he died on the cross rose again and is in us... crazy but true, He is actually in us, guiding us living in us. I often wish I remembered this, that all I need to know.

Lord I want to look in myself daily and see Christ living, sharing all he is blessing me with so that others will see His glory. The scripture says this secret has been revealed. Imagine it, a secret hidden for so long and we know it, its written and saves lives, shouldn't I be shouting about it, reminding omyself how blessed I am to know this? Thank you Lord for revealing this secret. Help me to clear what is wrong inside me so that I might see clearly Christ LIVING in me. Christ remind me that knowing you are in me is all I need, from there I can grow to know all you want.
