Thursday showers of blessings come from Colossians 1:24-27 "Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly, of which I was made a servant according to the stewardship of God which was given me towards you to fulfil the word of God, the mystery which has been hidden for ages and generations. But now it has been revealed to his saints, to whom God was pleased to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery amongst the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory."
Paul reveals that he is not bothered or complain about his suffering. His maturity has gone to a higher level that, he rejoices in his challenges. On vs 26 & 27 he reveals that GOD kept the mystery in the dark for a long time, but revealed it now that all people can be saved and have a relationship with CHRIST meaning that CHRIST dwells in you and you in HIM. It was GOD'S intention that everyone, not just Jews, must know this rich and glorious secret inside and out, regardless of their background, regardless of their religious standing. Therefore we can all look forward to sharing in GOD'S Glory. Amen.
Blessings and Shalom
Rev and Family
