The church at Colossae had started reaching for something more — a hidden knowledge, a deeper secret, one more step past Jesus toward God. Paul answers them with a Person. In Colossians 1:24–2:15, Pastor Scott walks us through the mystery that was hidden for ages and has now been revealed: not a formula, not a secret, but Christ in you, the hope of glory. We look back at Israel, who mixed the worship of the true God with the idols of the nations and lost the very thing that made them distinct. We stand with Moses at the mountain, refusing to go one step farther without the presence of God. And we land at the cross, where the record of debt that stood against us was canceled — set aside, nailed to the cross, paid in full. If you have been striving to add something to Jesus, this message is rest for you. Everything you have been reaching for has already been accomplished, and it was accomplished for you.
