“To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.” Colossians 1:27 (ESV)
Let's think about what this verse calls a mystery which God has chosen to make known here in this world. It is called a mystery because before Jesus came to live in our world, it was not well known what His hope and plan was for His creators. We consider that we are a part of the process of making it known to others. God wants us to be aware and to realize that when we become His children by believing in Jesus as our Savior an important part of the change that happens to us is that Jesus Christ comes to live within us. Our verse today reminds us that this is the promise of a hope of glory – a promise that one day we will fully experience the glory of God and its riches. It is an assurance we have through Christ being in us that eventually we will be living with Him in heaven and enjoy that glory for eternity.
