“Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins; sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high” Hebrews 1:3.
LIGHT FOR THE NOW: Christ is a mystery that must be revealed to the church.
What Jesus did for us and what He is still doing for us remains a mystery. This mystery needs to be revealed to the church so that the church can enjoy all the benefits of what He has done for us. Apostle Paul speaking in Ephesians 1:18 (NLT) says, “I pray that your hearts will be flooded with light so that you can understand the confident hope he has given to those he called – his holy people who are his rich and glorious inheritance”. All the Pauline prayers were on knowledge and revelation. It is possible to be in church and not have a revelational knowledge about Jesus. Until the mystery of Christ is revealed, it is of no use whatsoever to the believers and to the hearers. In the synoptic gospel, people had a faith based on senses about Jesus. Faith does not function in senses but in the heart.
Apostle Paul had a revelation about Jesus and the whole world is yet to recover from his revelation. He speaking in Galatians 1:12 (NLT) says, “I received my message from no human source, and no one taught me. Instead, I received it by direct revelation from Jesus Christ”. Christ is a mystery that must be revealed to the church (Ephesians 3:1-7). Hence, Paul speaking IN Colossians 1:26-27 says, “Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: 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 means God reproducing Himself in a new creation. As a new creation, you are the glory of God.
INSTRUCTION: Believe that you are saved.
PRAYER: Lord, I thank you revealing yourself to me. Amen.
