You Will Also Appear - Colossians 3:3-4

Col 3:3-4 ESV 
For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.

In dying we trade a sure thing for a sure thing. Death is a sure thing. This applies to everyone. Life in Christ is a sure thing for those who believe Him and place their trust in Him. The life of Christ follows death of self. Spiritually, then physically. 

Hidden in Christ because we have entered the body of Christ. God no longer sees our sin, but the righteousness of Christ. Hidden from the world because the dead do not see or experience life. 

With Christ we are in God. He shares His glory with us. 

It is a work and process that begins within and ends fully realized in body and spirit for all to see.
