Christ In You


How much longer will I imitate? How much longer will I strive to be like
Jesus? It’s what the Church believes. It’s what’s in your Hymn Books. It’s
never worked. Because “Christ in you” (Colossians 1:27) is the only hope
of getting glory out of you.
Wherever you’re Christ-like, you’ll steal His glory. The antichrist is
somebody who is going to be so like Jesus, they’ll say, “He is the Christ.”
He’ll deceive even the elect. (Mark 13:22) Only Jesus can glorify the Father.
You can’t be full of Christ until you’re emptied of yourself. To be fully
emptied, you have to be fully surrendered.
I’m not going to improve. I’m not going to get better. God does not
want to improve me, He wants to remove me. He means Jesus living in me.
Have you seen the mystery which is Christ in you, the only hope of God ever
getting glory out of you?

Tools specific to Col 1:27
To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:
