Description

Monday, 7 August: In this episode, we'll be diving into Colossians 1:24-2:5, where Paul reveals the mystery of Christ. This mystery is that Christ not only dwells within the church, but he also dwells within each individual believer through the Holy Spirit. This means that we have direct access to God through Jesus Christ.

We'll also explore Paul's heart for the Colossians and his desire to see them mature in their faith. Paul's goal is to present every individual complete in Christ. This means that he wants to see them grow in their understanding of God's mystery, and in their love for one another.

Join us for this episode as we explore the mystery of Christ and Paul's passion for the Colossians.

Here are some additional thoughts on the passage:

• The mystery of Christ is that he is both the King and the one who dwells within us. This means that we have direct access to God through Jesus Christ.
• Paul's heart for the Colossians is evident in his desire to see them mature in their faith. He wants them to grow in their understanding of God's mystery, and in their love for one another.
• The mature believer is characterized by two things: hearts tightly woven together in love, and a rock-solid grasp of understanding. This understanding is centered on Christ Jesus, who is the hope of glory.
