For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. vv.3-4
Read chapter 3
It's not obvious today who's a Christian and who's not. Some may appear to be but aren't and some appear not to be but are. One day it will be manifest to all who are Christ followers, but for now we are hidden. Notice this verse says "hidden WITH Christ." He's hidden too today. Now that's not to say He isn't working, but what He does is "behind the scenes," it's not obvious to all that it's Christ. Don't let this be a verse to justify not doing godly works, but a reminder that we're hidden and will be rewarded for what we do even when no one's looking or doesn't seem to care. Oh bring the day when He appears to the whole world!
