S –  God wanted to make known among the Gentiles the glorious wealth of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory

Col 1:27 CSB

O – Commentary: 

That this mystery would be made known among the Gentiles had been prophesied (e.g., Is 66:19) and was now being fulfilled (1:25). *Old Testament writers often said that God dwelled “among” his people Israel (Num 35:34), and on a personal level, “within” some of them (Gen 41:38; Num 27:18; Dan 4:8, 18; 5:11, 14; 1 Pet 1:11; more often, “filled,” “rested on”).  But no one expected him to dwell among the Gentiles—indeed, on the personal level, within them (Col 2:12; 3:4, 16).

  The IVP Bible Background Commentary: New Testament

“Hope of glory” – In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade. This inheritance is kept in heaven for you” (1 Peter 1:3–4). 

A – Everyone has the opportunity to accept Christ as their Lord and the Holy Spirit will be in you.  We have the benefit of hindsight after Christ’s resurrection and the early church doing the hard work of this “new” message.  The hope of glory allows us to walk in the power of his resurrection today, knowing our inheritance is heaven with Him.

R – Lord, I am grateful for your love for us.  Lead us through your Holy Spirit to walk in the power of your resurrection.  We will obey your Word and demonstrate our love for You and others in a tangible way.  We will walk in compassion and courage, knowing you are in control of all things.
