The Gospel: CHRIST IN YOU

I should be packing.  Jason is laboring away at work.  Moriah is napping and THIS stuff is just TOO good.

Paul said:

"To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me." (Ephesians 1:27-29, ESV)

CHRIST IN YOU, the HOPE OF GLORY.  THIS is the gospel, THIS is the good news. This is what we should proclaim.  Paul didn't struggle to proclaim this himself.   He drew his energy from HIM.  He struggled with HIS energy.   When I am trying to live out of my own resources and trust in my own self-sufficiency, I can remember Paul.  He drew from Christ, living within him, to be His energy as he proclaimed the message CHRIST IN YOU, the HOPE OF GLORY.

This is TOO good. 


Now time for packing.
