Christ in You (1 Corinthians 2:6-8)

 However, we speak wisdom among those who are mature, yet not the wisdom of this age, nor of the rulers of this age, who are coming to nothing. But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden wisdom which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory (1 Corinthians 2:6-8 NKJV).

What a privilege you have to know the wisdom of God. It is the mystery made manifest to the saints, Colossians 1:26, though formerly hid from the heathen world; it was only shown in dark types and distant prophecies, but now is revealed and made known by the Spirit of God. Jesus Christ is the Lord of glory; a title much too great for any creature (Matthew Henry). 

Make it your passion to explore the depths of Christ's love. Do not be content to know the Gospel on a superficial level. Praise God for your salvation, but dive deep into this mystery which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

Where is your power to overcome the world? It is Christ in you. Where is your power to overcome sin? It is Christ in you. For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. And there is no creature hidden from His sight, but all things are naked and open to the eyes of Him to whom we must give account (Hebrews 4:12-13 NKJV).

Notice the Word of God, which is sharper than any two-edged sword, is Christ. No creature is hidden from His sight. He will give you understanding concerning your life. He will reveal your needs for repentance. He will fill your heart with joy. He will give you peace.

Allow God to search your heart. Then you will understand the wisdom of God more and more. For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ (2 Corinthians 10:3-5 NKJV).
