“Living within you is the Christ who floods you with the expectation of glory! This mystery of Christ, embedded within us, becomes a heavenly treasure chest of hope filled with the riches of glory for his people, and God wants everyone to know it!” (Colossians 1:27 TPT)
Airplane mode is a setting on mobile devices that disables all wireless transmission functions. Smartphones have limited functionality without online access or a cellular signal. Users can still play games, look at their pictures, etc., but they can’t receive calls or texts or access the treasure trove of information on the internet.
Have you ever placed your smartphone in airplane mode and forgotten to switch it back? I don’t like feeling cut off from everything, so as soon as a flight lands, I eagerly get back online. My phone is usually flooded with notifications of messages, missed calls, and updates. I rarely neglect to connect when I have the option to do so.
The mystery of Christ, embedded within us, grants us access to the treasures of God’s glory. Many of us unwittingly go through our days disconnected from this unlimited power of Grace. Instead, we operate in our limited capacity, playing games and going over images from the past. Even though we have the option, we remain spiritually disengaged.
Are we ignorant of Christ within us? Do we not realize that we have access to His goodness?
