But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost: In whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them. (2 Corinthians 4: 3-4)
People will never understand the born again experience of believers in Christ until they have been born again, for this experience is hidden from people who do not believe in the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
Have you ever discovered a talent you did not know you have, but, when discovered, you became excited and thrilled about the things you could do that you did not know you could do? At which time you came to see that your talent had been hidden from you?
To be born again in Christ means that our spirit within us has been awakened. It is like waking up from the darkness of sleep and seeing things in the light of day.
You will never understand the fullness of Christ until you have been awakened from spiritual sleep and seeing Him as the light of the world. This truth is hidden from you.
You will never understand how Christ is the King of kings and Lord of lords until you have been born again, or awakened to walk in newness of life. This truth is hidden from you.
It is difficult, if not impossible, for people to believe that God created the heaven and the earth until they are born again in Christ.
Without Christ, people will not believe in the story of Adam and Eve, in Noah's flood, in Abraham, nor in Moses, nor in any of the prophets of God.
Without Christ, people will not believe that Satan is real, nor that Satan is the master deceiver.
Without Christ, all preachers, ministers, priests, rabbis, and spiritual gurus look the same.
Without Christ, all churches and religions look the same.
Without Christ, people will not believe in the resurrection of Him, nor in His ascension to heaven, nor in His second coming to earth as Messiah.
Without Christ, people will not believe that there is no salvation in water baptism, nor will they believe that infant baptism is a pagan rite.
Without Christ, people will not believe the Bible is the Word of God written on paper.
But! When we meet Christ for the first time, all things change because we are changed on the inside.
Whereas we were proud, now we are humble.
Whereas we were too proud to weep, now we can weep and not be ashamed.
Whereas we can say, "Now I can see!" "Now I know what you are talking about!"
Suddenly and unexpectedly, we are awakened from within, at which time we discover something that had been hidden from us. It is like being lost, but now you have been found. Now you can get home because now you can see the light of day! And you will be able to see that all things of this world are not as they appear to be.
The Bible is the greatest book ever written, about the greatest story ever told. Don't miss it. Do not let it remain hidden from you. For the day will come when every knee shall bow to Christ, even the knees of all ministers, priests, rabbis, and spiritual gurus.
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. (John 21: 25)
