Gal_1:15-16 : “When it pleased God-F.B.Meyer

Who separated me from my mother’s womb, and called me by His grace, to reveal His Son in me, that I might preach Him among the heathen; immediately I conferred not with flesh and blood.” “It pleased God to reveal His Son in me.” Now, ” to reveal” means “to undrape.” There is a statue. It is covered with a veil. It is there, but hidden. I take off the veil, and you see it. When you were regenerate, Christ came unto you: that is what regeneration means –Christ born into your spirit. But Christ came in as a veiled figure, and you who are regenerate but who have never seen the Christ as I put Him before you in the last address, you have Christ in you, but, He is veiled. Now, mark. When Jesus died, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and when the soul appreciates the death of Christ as its own death to sin, the veil is rent in twain from the top to the bottom, and the Holy Ghost reveals Jesus as the substitute for the self, life.
“It pleased God to reveal His Son in me.” O, my God, I thank Thee that Thou hast revealed Thy Son as the Alpha, the pivot, the fountain, the origin of my life! May it be so with us all!
A friend of mine was staying near Mont Blanc. He had been there for a fortnight, but had not seen the “monarch of the Alps,” Nearly out of heart with waiting, he was preparing to leave. Going up to dress for dinner, he passed a window and saw that the monarch was still veiled in mist. Having dressed, he came down stairs, passing the window again. Every vestige of mist had now parted, and Mont Blanc stood revealed from base to snow clad peak. So now there shall come upon you a breath of the Holy Ghost, before which the misconception of your life shall pass, and to you God will reveal His Son in you as the center of your life.
Turn for a moment to Col_1:27, a very favorite passage- “To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
A woman sits alone. Her son ran away to sea twenty years ago. She is a widow, poor, lonely. A bronzed stranger comes.
“Can I sleep in your spare room?”
“I have a room to let, so you can stay.”
He comes in disguised, so that she cannot see him,
He is there, but she knows him not. One day they sit together at dinner, and there is a gesture, and she says:
” John! “
That is the glory of the mystery when the two kiss.
“My boy!”
“My mother!”
Then after dinner he says: “Mother, you shall never lack again, Here is gold. I am going to live with you, never to go away again.”
That is the riches of the glory of the mystery of her boy in the house.
Jesus, come! You have come, but You are a mystery. But we have come to the cross, and the mystery is gone, and there is the glory of the day; but there will be the riches of the glory of the mystery, Christ in us; and He will do for us better than ever we could have done for ourselves.
