AMAZING Read by Jennifer Shouldice yesterday at Hope Fellowship - Your Community Church ( youtu.be/APz7PSRcarM ) Exceprt from “Jesus Manifesto” by Leanord Sweet & Frank Viola: “All that Paul had said about Jesus in Colossians 1 led straight to this grand and glorious mystery, which was the main point of his letter. And what was this mystery that had been hidden in God from before time? It was not something to be solved or analyzed. It was not a principle, a rule, or a law. it was not even a set of answers to a set of questions, or a set of questions to spend ones life answering. It was - and is - the wonder of all wonders. The mystery of God is this... that the One who is the visible image of the invisible God; the One in whom all the fullness of the Godhead dwells; the One who is the living residence of the Trinity the one in whom eternity lives, breathes, and has its being; the One who is before time; the A to Z, Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end; the Firstborn of the created universe, who rose from the dead never to die again; the Conqueror of death, sin, and the grave; the Creator, Savior, Redeemer, and Forgiver; The One who holds all creation together in himself; The One who is power and glory and might; the Head, authority, and source of the church; the One through whome and for whom all things were created; the One in whom all things find their meaning and reality; the One who reconciled all things in heaven and earth to God; the One who nailed to His bloody cross every law, every rule, and every regulation that would condemn the beloved people of God; the One who is supreme in every realm and hold the first place in all things - the Son of the Fathers love; the One whose significance is unmatched in human history; the One who hold the title deed to the universe... this glorious, limitless, amazing, incredible, expansive, incomparable, marvelous, stunning, staggering, majestic, mighty, matchless, spectacular, outstanding, tremendous, immense, infinite, vast, rand, triumphant, victorious, precious, radiant, peerless, wonderful, magnificent Christ has chosen to place all of His fullness where? Inside of you! To [you] God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Col. 1:27
