Today's Message from Chip Brogden
"In [Christ] are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."
COLOSSIANS 2:3
It is not that God gives us revelation into five, ten, one hundred,
or one thousand things. None of these "things" by themselves really
matter. Rather, He has placed all those "things" within Christ, and
reveals Christ to us. He will not reveal anything to us apart from
the Revelation of Jesus Christ. To possess the Son is to possess
all that pertains to the Son, for the Scriptures declare, "He who
did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how
shall He not with Him also freely give us all things?" (Romans
8:32).
It is not that God desires to give us revelation into these many
things, but for us to have the Revelation of Jesus Christ. By
apprehending Him we will subsequently gain insight in those
"things." To seek revelation into the "things" apart from the
Revelation of Christ fails to give Christ the preeminence. We dare
not circumvent the knowledge of Him in the pursuit of "things,"
even spiritual things, for they are all summed up into Him.
