A Great Mystery Full of Glorious Riches

A great mystery full of glorious riches. The hope of glory that is reflected in us to the world. Manifest in us because Christ is in us. Not only are we made into children of God, but we also become the children that God, the Father, has given to the Lord Jesus. We join with Him, who is a light to the world on the stage that is His church. As we reflect His light, we become light and salt to a world shrouded in darkness and stripped of flavor (see Hebrews 2:13 and Isaiah 8:11 – 9:7)

Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am supplementing what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions in behalf of His body, which is the church. I was made a minister of this church according to the commission from God granted to me for your benefit, so that I might fully carry out the preaching of the word of God, that is, the mystery which had been hidden from the past ages and generations, but now has been revealed to His saints, to whom God willed to make known what the wealth of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles is, the mystery that is Christ in you, the hope of glory

Colossians 1:24-27 NASB2020

Jesus, the Son of God, suffered in the flesh so He could call us brothers. Because of His Obedience, the Father has given us to Him, so we could share in the mystery and share in His glorious light. And share His Light with the world.

Are we sharing the glorious riches found in Him with others? We can’t hold on to them. To do so would change their nature. The mighty free, flowing Love of God flows outward forever. So we share our hope. The Hope of Glory.
