Colossians 1:26 - The Message

This mystery has been kept in the dark for a long time, but now it’s out in the open. God wanted everyone, not just Jews, to know this rich and glorious secret inside and out, regardless of their background, regardless of their religious standing. The mystery in a nutshell is just this: Christ is in you, so therefore you can look forward to sharing in God’s glory. It’s that simple. That is the substance of our Message. We preach Christ, warning people not to add to the Message. We teach in a spirit of profound common sense so that we can bring each person to maturity. To be mature is to be basic. Christ! No more, no less. That’s what I’m working so hard at day after day, year after year, doing my best with the energy God so generously gives me.

Colossians 1:26 - Additional Comments

This message that Paul brings is a message that was foretold in Scripture, so it is fulfilling God's word (vs 25). Paul is now revealing what had been a mystery for so many centuries, when the believers only had the Old Testament indicating of what the Messiah would be. The mystery has been revealed to all Christians, the saints. What is the answer to the mystery? Christ (vs 27).
