Colossians 1:26-27
We live in a time where our hope has been challenged. We see it in the streets where everyone now wears masks wherever they go. We hear about in the government where the elections are getting more and more chaotic and some even threatening violence. We watch on the news where corruption, scandal and the pandemic get so much attention. We see it in the economy where there are so many questions and uncertainties. We see it in the values and the moral standards of our society, where more and more people are choosing to just do whatever seems right in their own eyes.

Paul is accomplishing two things with his use of the word mystery in these verses. First, Paul is taking and redefining the word ''mystery'' that the false teachers in Colossae were using. The false teachers acknowledged Jesus, but had stripped Him of His divinity, His authority, and all characteristics that qualified Him to b ...
