From the book, Jesus Manifesto by Leonard Sweet and Frank Viola:
Colossians 1:27“…this glorious, limitless, amazing, incredible, expansive, incomparable, marvelous, stunning, staggering, majestic, mighty, matchless, spectacular, outstanding, tremendous, immense, infinite, vast, grand, triumphant, victorious, precious, radiant, peerless, wonderful, magnificent Christ has chosen to place all of his fullness where?”
…to [you] God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.
“Inside of you!”
“Why, then,” Sweet and Viola ask “would [I] chase anything else?”
Good question!!

Beautiful! Isn't it odd how we forget that Christ lives IN us??

I received a copy from the publisher before it was published, and I've still got it on my 'to read' pile by my bedside.
ReplyDeleteYour quote makes me thirsty to read more.
Isn't HE amazing!
I love that description of Christ. He is all those things and He wants me to reside in me!
ReplyDeleteHow great is that?
