Today we are living in a time when our mobile devices are very neatly boxed and packaged, and every manufacturer wants to make their mark with a better package and a fully upgraded more beautiful gadget inside. And then you also get included in that package the little booklet; the little, sometimes very complicated, user's manual. That little booklet, page by page, in the language of your choice even, tells you exactly everything you need to know and understand about your new mobile device. What you study in the pages of that little booklet does not however put those features into the device, it's already all there! But one thing it does do is give you an understanding to appreciate that this device can do so much more than just using the little red or green button.You see, for so long we have reduced who we really are in God's design to the mere basics; to mere survival mode in the flesh.But Paul says in Colossians 1:27 that in us God desires to exhibit the priceless treasure of Christ's indwelling. He says every nation will recognize Him then as in a mirror! And then he ends with this statement: The unveiling of Christ in human life completes the human being's every expectation.Oh I just so love that note at the bottom of verse 27 there in the Mirror Paraphrased Translation, ha... ha... ha... he says, Jesus is not hiding in history or in outer space, nor off in the distant future somewhere, neither in the pages of Scripture; He is merely mirrored there to be unveiled within you!
