JESUS, THE HOPE OF GLORY  (Colossians 1:27)
 
"To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." (niv)
 
Pastor Nicholas closed out service yesterday with an assignment for us all.
 

• Take this scripture before God in your prayer time. Perhaps you would pray it this way: God would you penetrate my being this week. Would You go from my head to my heart this week. Would you go from my head to my heart inside? 
• How did God penetrate you with these words?
• What does it mean, Christ, that You are in me?
• You're going to get some stuff, write it down!    
• In what way is it going to change my life?

Christ in you, the hope of glory.  The Holy Spirit is going to reveal to you that it's not a concept. Once you get that is not a concept - it's in you and it doesn't get taken away!
 
 
Colossians 1:27 (Amplified Bible)

27To whom God was pleased to make known how great for the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ within and among you, the Hope of [realizing the] glory.

Colossians 1:27 (New King James Version)

27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which[a] is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Colossians 1:27 (The Message)  verses 26-29

 26-29This mystery has been kept in the dark for a long time, but now it's out in the open. God wanted everyone, not just Jews, to know this rich and glorious secret inside and out, regardless of their background, regardless of their religious standing. The mystery in a nutshell is just this: Christ is in you, so therefore you can look forward to sharing in God's glory. It's that simple. That is the substance of our Message. We preach Christ, warning people not to add to the Message. We teach in a spirit of profound common sense so that we can bring each person to maturity. To be mature is to be basic. Christ! No more, no less. That's what I'm working so hard at day after day, year after year, doing my best with the energy God so generously gives me.
