Hidden with Christ

[Ophel]

Colossians 3:3 (NLT) is special to me...

For you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God.


Think of God! I can envision Him as a monumental glory cloud, bright as the sun.

Now, think of Christ, who has perfect access to the Father! Think of His Spirit, His emissary, sent to live within you and now dwells in you!

Now, think of you, your life lived in the flesh, now righteous, now enabled to stand in the presence of your King. While you are safe in His shelter and companionship, He takes you into the heart of the Father, that great glory cloud!

Yes, our REAL lives are hidden with Christ's life inside God's glorious presence! This is OUR reality!

Funny! I have nothing to do with anything New Agey.

God's physical presence and "glory cloud" are one and the same. His glory manifests in a cloud. Think back to the time of Moses.


Read Ezekiel 10, and discover verses 3-4:
The cherubim were standing at the south end of the Temple when the man went in, and the cloud of glory filled the inner courtyard. 4 Then the glory of the Lord rose up from above the cherubim and went over to the entrance of the Temple. The Temple was filled with this cloud of glory, and the courtyard glowed brightly with the glory of the Lord.

Why the accusation of violence? Everything alright?
