Colossians 1:27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you… David Hume, the great historian of England, and noted enemy of the Christian faith, once overheard his servant-man John repeating the text, "Christ in you, the hope of glory." "You know that's all nonsense," said Hume; "I wonder that a sensible man like you can believe it. If Christ be in heaven, as you say, how can He be in you? He can't be in two places at one time. And then to be 'in you,' I don't understand it." "David Hume," said John, "you wrote the 'History of England,' and I read it page by page with great delight. You say in that history that the one redeeming feature in the life of 'Bloody Mary' was, that when she was dying, the news came to her that Calais had been captured, and that on that occasion she raised herself up in bed, and said to her maids of honour, 'When I die, take out my heart, and you will find "Calais" written on it.' Now, what more Calais written on Mary's heart, than Christ on mine? Take out my heart, and you will find Christ written on it." (J. L. Nye.)
