All Treasures of Wisdom and Knowledge are in Christ, God’s History and God’s Mystery

As the mystery of God, the all-inclusive Christ is the history of God, including all the processes through which He passed in order to come into us and be our life, and in Christ all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden!

What a rich, abundant, and all-inclusive Christ we have! Amen, Lord, we love You and we want to enjoy You as the all-inclusive Christ! We exercise our spirit to contact You and receive Your divine dispensing today! Amen!

The all-inclusive Christ is the mystery of God. God Himself is a mystery, and Christ is the mystery of God; Christ is the mystery of a mystery.

How can we know God? How can we touch God? How can we contact God? We need to come to Christ, for Christ is the mystery of God. Christ is the explanation, definition, and expression of God.

He was and still is in the bosom of the Father, and He came to express God to us. He made God real to us, and even though His human living and work on earth were mysterious, when we see Him, we see God.

If we want to know what it means in practicality that God is life, light, holiness, and righteousness, we simply need to look at Christ, who is the stories of God.

In Him we see what God is, who God is, and what God’s desire is for us and toward us.

However, if we only read the Bible, especially the Gospels, without exercising our spirit, we will merely see a perfect and wonderful God-man, and we will only admire what He is and what He has done.

For us to really understand and partake of what Christ as the mystery of God is to us, we need to turn our heart to the Lord and exercise our spirit to contact Him.

He is not only a person who lived many years ago and then died because He loved us, so now we are saved by having faith in His name. This is too low of a gospel.

Christ is the mystery of God; He explains and defines God, and God is Spirit. We can receive, enjoy, and partake of what God is by exercising our spirit and turning our heart to the Lord as we come to His word.

We all can testify that so many times we merely read through the Bible but not much of Christ is impressed on us.

But when we exercise our spirit to call on the Lord from deep within and we turn our heart to the Lord, and then we read the Word, we come to the Lord in His word, and His words become spirit and life to us.

We can be infused with God in Christ as we read the Bible simply by exercising our spirit to call on the name of the Lord from the depths of our being and turn our heart to Him to love Him and be open to Him.

The All-inclusive Christ as the Mystery of God is the History of God coming to Enter into us and Bring us into Him

Colossians 2:2 tells us that Christ is the mystery of God. Although God is infinite and eternal, without beginning or ending, He also has a history, a story (Rom. 16:26; Psa. 90:2).

Yes, God is infinite, and yes, He is eternal; however, God has a history. In Psalm 92 we see that from eternity to eternity, God is God.

However, the New Testament clearly shows us that one day, the eternal One stepped into time! Wow, the One who created all things and who exists above and beyond all things, this One stepped out of eternity into time, and His story began!

Micah tells us that His goings forth are from ancient times, from the days of eternity. Yet one day, He stepped into time; at that time, history began.

On the one hand, God created all things, and all things exist because of Him, for all things subsist in Him.

On the other hand, He not only created all things and holds all things by the word of His power, but He Himself one day became a man (John 1:1, 14). What a mystery!

God became a man, taking the step of being incarnated to become flesh, a human being. This is the beginning of God’s history; this is Christ as the mystery of God.

The all-inclusive, extensive Christ is the history of God. Christ as the mystery of God, even the mysterious story of God, is the history of God.

Apart from Christ, God has no history, for all God’s history is in Christ. All the fullness of the Godhead was pleased to dwell in Christ, and He is the embodiment of God to express God and manifest God.

Incarnation was the beginning of God’s history; Christ as the mystery of God is the history of God, and His story continues with His human living, death on the cross, resurrection, ascension, and descension to be imparted into us.

God’s history is Christ as the mystery of God, and this wonderful history has many steps, with the goal that God would be brought into man and man would be brought into God! Wow!

So God is not only mysterious and He is not only embodied in Christ who is the mystery of God; Christ as the mystery of God is the history of God to come into us and be mingled with us!

Hallelujah, we become part of God’s history when Christ as the mystery of God comes into our being!

God’s history refers to the process through which He passed in Christ so that He may enter into us and we may be brought into Him (John 1:12-14, 29; 3:14; 12:24; 14:20).

Through regeneration, when we opened to the Lord to repent and believe into Him, God was brought into us and we were brought into Him! Hallelujah!

We can now know God not only objectively as the One who created all things and holds all things, even as the sovereign One who arranges all things, but even more, we can know Him in a subjective way!

The God who in Christ passed through incarnation, human living, crucifixion, resurrection, ascension, glorification, and enthronement, is now in our spirit to be mingled with us!

We can know Him subjectively by calling on His name and enjoying Him in His word, even by exercising our spirit to touch Him! Praise the Lord!

By faith in Christ, God is brought into us and we are brought into God. Now we are part of the history of God to be the mystery of Christ, for Christ as the mystery of God has come into us to make us His mystery, the church.

We can see this and apprehend this in spirit, for only in our spirit are we organically joined to the Lord as one spirit to enjoy and experience all that He is (1 Cor. 6:17; 2 Cor. 3:17).

Lord Jesus, we exercise our spirit today to contact You and enjoy You as the mystery of God. Hallelujah, the all-inclusive Christ as the mystery of God is the history of God! Wow, when we look at the Lord Jesus, we see the mysterious history of God for Him to come into us and be one with us! Amen, Lord, we praise You that one day the infinite and eternal God stepped out of eternity into time to be a man! Praise the Lord, God became a man to be incarnated and bring the mystery of God in humanity! Amen, Lord, we exercise our spirit to know You, enjoy You, and experience You as the history of God. May we see that God’s history is the process through which He passed in Christ so that He may enter into us and we may be brought into God! Praise the Lord, by faith in Christ, God is brought into us and we are brought into God! Hallelujah, we are now the mystery of Christ, for He as the mystery of God has come into us to make us part of God’s history!

In the All-inclusive Christ as the Mystery of God, all the Treasures of Wisdom and Knowledge are Hidden

Colossians 2:3 tells us that in this all-inclusive, extensive Christ as the mystery of God, all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden. Wow!

In the writing to the church in Colossae, the apostle Paul was fighting against the Gnostic philosophy, which was pervading the church.

The influence of Gnostic teaching, which was a mixture of Jewish religion and Greek philosophy, invaded the Gentile churches at the time of the apostle Paul.

Some were influenced by these teachings and they considered themselves to have much wisdom and knowledge, but they did not have Christ.

They spoke many things, did many things, and had a lot of knowledge, but they did not have Christ as their life and person, and they did not preach Christ.

So Paul told them that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ.

We may value knowledge and we may seek wisdom; however, in Christ as the mystery of God, all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.

When we are rooted in the soil of Christ, the all-inclusive Christ as the mystery of God, we enjoy all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.

All the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ, who is the mystery of God; we have received Christ Jesus the Lod, and now we should walk in Him.

We have been rooted in Him, we are being built up in Him, and we need to absorb Him day by day.

When we treasure other things, such as knowledge, culture, or religion, we are transplanted out of Christ and rooted in something else in our experience.

Many times we have to admit that we don’t contact the Lord concerning all things but rather, we treasure many other things apart from Christ and we rely on other things, not on the Lord Himself.

Even though we’re rooted in Christ, in our experience many times we seem to be rooted in culture, spiritual knowledge, doctrines, or religion. Oh Lord Jesus!

May we return to Christ. May we be converted from all things to Christ.

May we realise that God is the unique source of wisdom and knowledge, and may we see that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ who is the mystery of God!

Wisdom is related to our spirit and knowledge is related to our mind (Eph. 1:8, 17).

We need to have a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Christ so that we may enjoy what He is as the mystery of God.

May we open to the Lord by exercising our spirit to contact Him today so that we may enjoy Christ as the mystery of God, the one in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden.

God Himself is the unique source of wisdom and knowledge (Rom. 16:27; 11:33).

This is not just the wisdom and knowledge in the world, but the spiritual wisdom and knowledge of the divine economy concerning Christ and the church (Eph. 1:10; 3:9; 5:32).

The wisdom and knowledge in this world is in darkness and death, and it is not real wisdom and knowledge; the real wisdom and knowledge are spiritual, and the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ.

Wisdom and knowledge also refer to all the “stories” of God. All the wisdom and knowledge pertaining to God’s stories are hidden in Christ, who is the mystery of God (Col. 2:2-3).

May we allow the Lord to shine on us and unveil us for us to see Christ as the mystery of God.

The fact that wisdom and knowledge are embodied in Christ is proved by His spoken words.

If you read the Gospels, especially the Gospel of Matthew speaking of the kingdom of God and the Gospel of John speaking of the divine life, we will see the treasures of wisdom and knowledge in Christ.

The teachings of the Lord Jesus in these two books are the highest standard of ethics, morality, and spirituality.

The decrees of the kingdom of the heavens in Matthew 5-7 are the highest constitution, something that no human being can accomplish, but God in us can live it out.

If we compare the teachings of the greatest philosophers and thinkers with the teachings of Christ, we will realise that Christ’s teachings are much superior to the human teachings.

Truly, all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are in Christ. For us to have wisdom and knowledge, we need to have Christ!

How can we have Christ as the One in whom the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden? It is by exercising our spirit, even exercising our whole being, to contact God.

If we exercise our whole being to contact the Lord, He as the life-giving Spirit will saturate our spirit and our mind.

When He saturates us inwardly, we have in our experience the wisdom and knowledge that is hidden in Christ.

This is real wisdom and knowledge, genuine wisdom and knowledge, and we can have it by exercising our spirit to contact and enjoy Christ as the mystery of God!

Lord Jesus, grant us to have a spirit of wisdom and revelation in the full knowledge of Christ as the mystery of God! Amen, Lord, we open to You today. We turn our heart to You. We exercise our whole being to come to You to know and enjoy You as the mystery of God! May we see that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ, who is the mystery of God! May we not seek any wisdom or knowledge apart from Christ, for all genuine wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ! Amen, Lord, we focus our whole being on You. Save us from focusing on secular wisdom and knowledge. Save us from focusing on any philosophy, religion, or culture. May we be converted from anything else unto Christ to enjoy Christ and know Christ as the mystery of God! Hallelujah, all the treasures of genuine wisdom and revelation are hidden in Christ, and this Christ is with our spirit and in His word! Amen, Lord, we come to You in Your word with the exercise of our spirit to not only know You but be infused with You as the One in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden!
