We were so blessed to have our dear friend Matthias Bühlmann share with us on the joyful and exhilarating 'world-adventure' of God. Reflecting on Colossians 1:13-27, Matthias reminded us of the magnitude of the Gospel, or what the Apostle Paul described as "the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations but now disclosed to the saints" (v26). For Paul, the gospel is, quite simply, Christ in you, Christ in us, "the hope of glory" (v27). Matthias then encouraged us not to give into the 'venom of neo-stoicism' which is the shrunken life of self-preservation and fatalistic detachment from the world at large, but instead to join with our adventurous God in his 'world-adventure' of revealing his glory through the work of the church.
