To [the saints] 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. (Colossians 1:27)
The author of the Bible’s book of Colossians seems to say that Christ is in Gentiles (non-Jewish) or at least in Gentile Christians. He admits it is a mystery. He claims it has been hidden for a long time, yet it is so. He describes it as both the riches of glory and the hope of glory. So Christ in Gentiles or in Gentile Christians is of great value to the author (and possibly to God and/or to others).
What is the worth of Christ in others to you, reader? Is it enough to make you want to seek Christ in others, to cherish Christ in them, or to partner with the Christ in them?
