The gospel is a living mystery. The gospel is living because new life can spring up at any moment. The gospel is a mystery because this lost and dying world cannot understand it. However, the mystery comes alive the moment anyone receives Christ as Savior. This is the holy moment that Jesus died for. And this is the holy moment that we now pray will come alive in more and more people.

The door is now open to all who will receive Jesus Christ as Savior. "God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory" (Colossians 1:27). In the middle of this lost and dying world God has opened up his promise that was kept hidden until the coming of Christ. Anyone may now receive God’s living mystery which is his salvation in Christ.

In the book of Colossians we find Paul bringing us into an awareness of our past before we had received the good news. "Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your mind because of your evil behavior" (Colossians 1:21). Most of the world will not recognize the reality of God's point of view because the world's view is steadfastly locked-in on its own righteousness. Immediately, when a person receives the gospel, that view is reversed. That's good news.

Paul explained it this way: "But now God has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation" (Colossians 1:22). This offer of reconciliation is still alive for anyone in any situation on any place on the face of this earth. That's good news.

We have an amazing description of Jesus Christ in God’s Word: "He is the image of the invisible God" (Colossians 1:15). What was once invisible has now become open viewing. The message to the world is, "Take a look at Jesus if you want to see what God is like." This invitation is open to anyone with an open heart to receive God's supernatural revelation in his Word.

The true nature of God explodes into reality when we consider the reason Jesus was sent by God in the first place. God sent Jesus so that, "through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross" (Colossians 1:20). People may wonder what God is like, but the very moment that they receive God's gift of reconciliation, the door is open wide.

As much as God's Word is alive, so is the prayer offered up to God in this letter to the Colossian believers. It is a beautiful and blessed gift from heaven that believers today are included in this prayer. This prayer is alive because it contains the essence of God's will for his people. God will see to it that, as we follow him, we will be led deeply into what he wants for us. And what God wants for us is his will.

Paul wrote, "We have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding" (Colossians 1:9). Notice the word "all" nothing lacking. The more we bow and yield our lives to God's will, the more this prayer will come to life in our lives. Blessing will be sure to follow.

The gospel is alive. How can a collection of words given 2,000 years ago be alive? The gospel is alive because the Creator of the universe is alive. God has, and will, stand behind his Word. As God stands behind his Word, he then encourages us to not just stand there, but to "Jump in!"

Who would have known that, as the Roman Empire exercised its authority over Jesus Christ, they were actually accomplishing for God what he had planned before the creation of the world? Rome fell, but God's kingdom will go on forever. God will say to anyone today, "Don't just stand there. Jump in!" Jump in to the Living Word of God. Amen.
