The sermon, focusing on Colossians 3:3-4, explores the transformative union between believers and Christ. The phrase "hidden with Christ in God" highlights the spiritual reality of being deeply united with Christ, leading to a fundamental change in identity. While believers' lives are "hidden" from the world now, their true glory will be revealed at Christ's return. This hiddenness ensures safety, intimacy with God, and ultimate vindication. The message addresses fears of obscurity in a culture valuing self-expression, affirming that being hidden in Christ is the path to true freedom and wholeness. Examples from scripture, marriage, and church history illustrate the joy and confidence that come from reflecting Christ's life, priorities, and glory. Believers are urged to embrace this transformative union, finding strength and hope in their secure identity in Christ. |
