Sermon Video: Know Christ, Know Wisdom - Colossians 2:1-8

When explaining to the church at Colossae his goal for them for which he was willing to contend and even suffer, the Apostle Paul speaks of not only their need to be encouraged and united in love, but also their need to have "the full riches of complete understanding".  But where would this understanding come from?  Mystical experience, meditative contemplation, angelic messengers?  No, Paul was clear that the people of the church could know the "mystery of God" simply by knowing Jesus Christ.  In Christ "are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge."  Want to know God?  Know Jesus.  Want to learn more about God?  Learn more about Jesus.  As the incarnate God/Man, Jesus Christ is the fullness of God, the more we learn about him, the more we learn about God.  That being said, Paul encourages the church to remain firmly rooted in Christ, to not be "taken captive" by other ideas or philosophies, for all those which are no in Christ are "of this world".
