The Mystery

This extract is taken from some verses in Colossians 1 and 2 in the Message Bible translation.
Chapter 1:
The mystery in a nutshell is just this. Christ is in you, therfore you can look forward to sharing in God's glory. Its that simple. That is the substance of the message.
Chapter 2:
I want you woven into a tapestry of love- in touch with everything there is to know of God. then you will have minds confident and at rest, focused on CHRIST, God's great mystery.

Thank you Lord for your Mystery on the CROSS.

Some words from Philip Yancy ( Where is God when it hurts page 227-228)

Jesus's death is the cornerstone of the Christian faith.
On the cross, God absorbed the awful pain of the world.
Love was compressed for all.
History in that lonely figure on the cross.
