Looking at Christ, being of Him, is what keeps us from human philosophies, which produce only confusion and sadness.

The danger that the Colossians run: the brothers were in danger of being deceived by strange philosophies, but the greater risk was that those philosophies clouded their understanding to the knowledge of Christ (in whom all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden) .

This message that the apostle preaches is the Covenant that God had promised since his fall in Eden, the message of which the prophet said that “no eye has seen, no ear has heard, nor has it entered into the heart of man.” This is the mystery that is revealed to us, by the grace of God, in Christ.

He is God, God bringing Himself close to us, making Himself visible. He is the origin, the cause, and the reason behind EVERYTHING, absolutely everything. He is above all, Eternal, and Majestic.

God freed us. Jesus forgave us of all our sin, and it is He who is making us more and more like Him, through the power of the Holy Spirit.
