The Mystery as the Secret

Colossians 1:26-27: The mystery which has been hidden from the ages and from the generations but now has been manifested to His saints to whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

"Christ is the mystery, the secret, and the crucial focus of the divine economy. " I really like the point of the mystery being the secret. Practically speaking, to preach gospel to get people saved is not by our eloquence of speech, but it's by Christ's speaking within us; to overcome stress and anxiety is not by positive thinking, but it's by taking Christ as out enjoyment; to study the Bible is not by our own wisdoms and reasonings, it's by Christ's revelations to us.
