—Colossians 1:24-2:5
by: Jerry Johnson.
Paul laid everything on the line in his quest to bring the Gospel message to the church at Colossae. He even rejoiced in the privilege of suffering for Christ. His toil and struggle served the purpose that people throughout the Gentile world would know the mystery that had now been revealed, which gave them eternal hope and an opportunity to obtain spiritual maturity. All treasures of wisdom and knowledge ultimately find their source in Christ. Paul wanted the believers to have these assurances and a firm faith. We need to ask ourselves if we have similar attributes in our testimonies to unbelievers and our teaching within our churches.
