Hidden
a WORD from God's Book

There is nothing concealed that will not be disclosed, or hidden that will not be made known.
Put your trust in the light while there is still time; then you will become children of the light.
”After saying these things, Jesus went away and was hidden from them.
Yet when we are among the full-grown (spiritually mature Christians who are ripe in understanding), we do impart a [higher] wisdom (the knowledge of the divine plan previously hidden); but it is indeed not a wisdom of this present age or of this world nor of the leaders and rulers of this age, who are being brought to nothing and are doomed to pass away. No, the wisdom we speak of is the mystery of God —his plan that was previously hidden, even though he made it for our ultimate glory before the world began.
Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God.
For [as far as this world is concerned] you have died, and your [new, real] life is hidden with Christ in God.
Let not yours be the [merely] external adorning with [elaborate] interweaving and knotting of the hair, the wearing of jewelry, or changes of clothes; But let it be the inward adorning and beauty of the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible and unfading charm of a gentle and peaceful spirit, which [is not anxious or wrought up, but] is very precious in the sight of God.
Luke 12:2 John 12:36 1 Corinthians 2:6,7 1 Corinthians 4:5 Colossians 3:3 1 Peter 3:3-5
