    THE WORD IN ITS FULLNESS:



    [NIV] Colossians 1:25 I have become its servant by the commission God gave me to present to you the word of God in its fullness...

    A lot of people have different ideas about what the Word of God is. Some say the Word of God is the Bible. Others say a bit of Law and a bit of Grace gives you a complete picture of the Word. These are all good ideas but not 'God- ideas'.

    The Apostle to the Gentiles, Paul, said he had been chosen by God to present the Word of God in its fullness to the Gentiles. He said that this fullness he talked about was hidden but has now been revealed through him. Even the Apostles who walked with Jesus before Paul did not know the fullness of God's Word. And what is this fullness? Paul answers that;

    [NIV] Colossians 1:26-27: the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations, but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

    Beloved, the purpose of preaching and teaching is to reveal Christ in you. He is not far away from you, but one in spirit with you. Christ in His glory, splendor, beauty, holiness, omnipotence and righteousness lives in you. Christ who is full of Grace and Truth is in you. It is not about your ability, but the ability of Christ.This is the fullness of the Word of God.

    This Gospel ignites Christ consciousness in you and empowers you to live above sin, guilt, condemnation and life challanges. It plunges you into an eternity of joy and ecstacy in the Holy Ghost. Greater is He that is in you than he that is in the world. Meditate on this. Shalom!!!
