THE SEED
“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 ESV
The above scripture is a deep truth that surpasses all limitations, reaching out to all people. And it’s God’s desire that we understand the great treasure that lies within this mystery: Christ living within us, the promise of eternal glory. This reminds us that when Christ resides within us, we are no longer enslaved to sin and death. Instead, we have the gift of life through the Holy Spirit, who guides us towards righteousness and leads us on the path of eternal hope. Imagine having the Creator of the universe dwelling within you, guiding your thoughts, comforting your heart, and filling your life with hope. This is the reality for those who believe in Christ, for God has chosen to make this mystery known to us. We should rejoice in this truth always as well as share the message with others so that they too can experience the richness of Christ’s presence in their lives. It’s also important to hold on to this amazing revelation: Christ in us, the hope of glory. That it may continue to inspire us to live with purpose and love, knowing that we are vessels of God’s light in a world that needs His saving grace.
