SEEK GREATER REVELATION John 18:20 Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing. JOHN 18:20--The truths of God are hidden for His children, not from them. The Holy Spirit has been instructed to teach us all things (Jn. 14:26) and has given us an unction so that we will know all things (1 Jn. 2:20). We only have to appropriate what is ours. What God desires His New Testament saints to know, that the Old Testament saints could not know, is Christ in you the hope of glory. The coming of the Messiah was predicted in the Old Testament, but the idea that He would actually dwell in us was beyond anyones imagination. However, the New Testament is clear that Christ, by the Holy Spirit, takes up permanent residence in all believers. This is a wonderful truth that some fail to fully appreciate. Solomon said at the dedication of the temple, But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded? We could say, How much less this physical body? This is truly amazing! The Lords commitment to dwell in us and never leave us or forsake us (Heb. 13:5), must be taken as an indication of His great love for us. If we continually thought upon this, with all its implications, how could we ever be lonely or discouraged? We couldnt! Depression and self-pity would cease! Why would it matter what others thought of us if we truly understood how much Jesus thought of us? Our attitudes and fears reveal that this revelation of Christ in us is not a well established revelation in most Christians. However, this verse makes it clear that our Father wants to make the riches of the glory of this mystery known unto us. We should all be seeking a greater revelation of this truth. By A.W. (Mark 14:3-8-9)-And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. --- 8 She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.9 Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her.
