“In [Christ] are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.”
COLOSSIANS 2:3
It
is not that God gives us revelation into five, ten, one hundred, or one
thousand things. None of these “things” by themselves really matter.
Rather, He has placed all those “things” within Christ, and reveals
Christ to us. He will not reveal anything to us apart from the
Revelation of Jesus Christ. To possess the Son is to possess all that
pertains to the Son, for the Scriptures declare, “He who did not spare
His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not with Him
also freely give us all things?” (Romans 8:32).
It
is not that God desires to give us revelation into
these many things, but for us to have the Revelation of Jesus Christ. By
apprehending Him we will subsequently gain insight in those “things.”
To seek revelation into the “things” apart from the Revelation of Christ
fails to give Christ the preeminence. We dare not circumvent the
knowledge of Him in the pursuit of “things,” even spiritual things, for
they are all summed up into Him.
