Colossians 1:24-29  Paul's prayer for the Colossian church is for them to have true knowledge.. spiritual wisdom and understanding of God.. that they might walk in a worthy manner.. pleasing Him.   As we meditate.. think deeply about.. the truth of who Jesus is, as Paul described in verses 13-23.. we will come to know Him more and more..  

Paul calls these truths a "mystery" which had been hidden but was now being "manifested".. "God willed to make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory." (v27) 

This is Who Paul proclaimed.. the One that Paul wanted every man to know fully.. so that they would be made "complete in Christ." This is what Paul strived for.. labored for... and prayed for.. 

Oh that we would do the same!

Father in heaven,  we pray for a deeper understanding of spiritual truths. May we know You more.  May we know You.. not just through words.. but through the power of Your Spirit
