“CHRIST IN YOU, the Hope of Glory!” (Col.1:27). What WOULD such a Supernatural Occurrence as that LOOK like, IN you? Here is a small shadow of one aspect of what “Christ IN you” will mean...... Carl Sandburg, in 1959, was invited to speak before a joint session of Congress. The title of his presentation was “Lincoln, Man of Steel, Man of Velvet.” Sandburg begins: “Not often in the story of mankind does a man arrive on Earth who is both steel and velvet, who is as hard as a rock and soft as drifting fog, who holds in his heart and mind the paradox of terrible storm and peace unspeakable and perfect.” Such a Man—Jesus Christ—is One FAR beyond in this matter of Steel and Tenacity against sin and compromise and religious hypocrisy—AND in Mercy, Forbearance, and Creativity with a Velvet Touch! AND THIS MAN (“if it be lawful to call Him a man”—Josephus) LIVES IN those who are truly Twice-Born. 5:44 p.m.
