04-Colossians: Mystery Revealed

We have a saying in our society that some, maybe many, “like a good mystery.” And if that mystery does not adversely involve them, that is probably true. But if it impacts us, my guess is that we are likely to “not like that mystery.”

What would you be willing to do, who would you be willing to follow, who would you be willing to pay if they could reveal “whatever” mystery you faced?

Well, groups were rising even in the mid-first century that claimed they had the answers to God's mysteries. Yet Paul, writing to the believers in Christ within the Colossians church, lets them know that the Mystery has been revealed and is free to all.
