Jesus the Source of All Wisdom

We see in this passage how Paul applies the truth of Jesus' supremacy in his own life even through his suffering and imprisonment. Many early churches were being infiltrated by people who wanted to bring in new mysteries of false teaching, so Paul teaches them so that they can continue in the faith. Christ is the source of all hidden treasures of wisdom and knowledge. Paul teaches the full message of the gospel - there is nothing to add, no deeper mystery. Paul was delighted that the Colossians were disciplining themselves to grow in their faith in Christ. Pray that we would keep ourselves aligned with Jesus, sharing our faith with others and that our strength, discipline and energy be in and through Jesus.
