In Whom Are Hid All the Treasures Of Wisdom and Knowledge - Part 1249

"If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven ... even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to His saints: 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, whom we preach, warning every man and teaching every man in all wisdom, that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus." (Colossians 1:23-28)

"That the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory may give unto you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation to the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened that ye may know what is the hope of His calling, and what the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of His mighty power, which He wrought in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead, and set [seated] Him at His own right hand in the heavenly [places].

Far above all principality and power and might and dominion and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come, and hath put all [things] under His feet, and gave Him to be the Head over all [things] to the church -- which is His body -- the fullness of Him that filleth all in all. (Ephesians 1:17-23)

"For it pleased [the Father] that in Him should all fullness dwell, and having made peace through the blood of His cross, by Him to reconcile all things unto Himself, by Him, I say, whether they be things in earth, of things in heaven ..." (Colossians 1:20)

If we would even begin to understand the magnitude of "God manifest in the flesh", and the name JESUS that He Himself who knew no sin gave to us through the shedding of His holy blood on the cross - how quickly the things of this earth would grow dim. (I Timothy 3:16; Isaiah 9:6; John 1:1-18)

Be thankful for this day in which the Lord hath made. Stand in the offering plate.
