Key to Treasures

UV 456/10,000 Key to Treasures Colossians 2 v 3 Col 2:3 In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. The Israelites sustained themselves in the wilderness with manna provided from heaven. But, we need to sustain ourselves with the hidden manna. This hidden manna is the wisdom and knowledge that is hidden in Christ Jesus. When we live in Christ and walk closely with Him, the hidden manna is revealed to us. Just yesterday, I heard of a young man who inspired by this uni-verse, kept believing and claiming the treasures of wisdom and knowledge of Christ and he was so empowered with wisdom and knowledge that he succeeded in getting appointed to a managerial position in a bank. In blood transfusion, medical practitioners can only transfer blood from a normal person to one who has lost blood and is in need of it. But, the Lord alone can transfer wisdom and knowledge in abundance from His Person to any other person who believes, claims and is in need of it. He not just sharpens our intellect but broadens our understanding. Information and knowledge that is in today’s world does not transform lives but the wisdom and understanding of Christ transforms human lives and relationships. Christ is the power and wisdom of God. He will show us His ways of wisdom, righteousness, sanctification and redemption. We must search for His wisdom as we would hidden treasure. He has promised that everything that is hidden will be revealed. He will not withhold the secrets of the kingdom of God from the children of God. Instead, He will generously impart it as a great Teacher would to any zealous and sincere student. Prateep V Philip
