CHAPTER

I Am Hidden

with Christ in God

“For you died, and your life is now

hidden with Christ in God.”

COLOSSIANS 3:3

Several years ago, a pastor made an appointment to see me. He said that he had heard of my ministry, and he needed to talk with me. The pastor told me he had struggled for 22 years in his Christian experience, going through one trial after another. During his devotions one day, he read Colossians 3:3, and he wanted to know how his life could be hidden in Christ.

I asked him to read the passage out loud and very slowly, which he did. Again he asked me, “That’s what I wanted to talk to you about. I think that is the secret. How do I do that?” I asked him to read it again, even slower. “For . . . you . . . died, . . . and . . . your . . . life . . . is . . . now . . . hidden

. . . with . . . Christ . . . in . . . God.” Suddenly the light dawned and he realized he had already died. For 22 years, this dear pastor had been desperately trying to become something he already is.
