(Connecting Advent and Holiness)

“…That is, the mystery which has been hidden from the past ages and generations; but has now been manifested to His saints, to whom 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.” (Colossians 1:26-27).  There is a great mystery which is now manifested to Messiah’s holy-ones (saints).  That mystery is “Messiah in you, the hope of glory”.  The hope of His saints is Christ dwelling in our inner being.  He was the glory in and above the ancient tabernacle. He was the glory of the Holy of Holies. He is the glory that the early disciples beheld in human flesh (John 1:14).  He has come to share His glory to us and in us by His very own Spirit.  The glory in us is the first taste of the glory that is before us.  Hallelujah!
