"This teaching is the secret truth that was hidden since the beginning of time," Colossians 1:26.
Whoa, now! A secret truth? A mystery? Hidden since forever ago? Yes. God has secrets. Secrets that nobody, but nobody, ever imagined. Not his highest council. Not powers and authorities. Not the devil. Not humans. Nobody. A mystery about what? About his deep love for all human beings. About immortality. But no longer a mystery now. God's broadcasting the secret. How? Through his preachers who preach his word. Come on now! What's the mystery? Christ. In us. Christ, who died for us. Christ, resurrected for us. Christ, our hope for life. In us, humans from every walk of life. Christ, in us! The hope of glory.
As we meet up with a brother or sister today, we recognize Christ alive among us. And, together, we give thanks to God for letting us in on his secret for immortality.
