Excerpt from Synopsis of the Books of the Bible, Vol. 5: Colossians, the RevelationBut let us consider more closely that which is said to the Colossians. The blessed calling of which the apostle speaks (eph. I. 3 and the privileges of the inheritance (11 are wanting in Colossians, risen but on earth, they are not sitting in heavenly places, all things being thus their inheritance. It is not they in Christ there, but Christ in them the hope Of glory, and the prayer referred to above fills up the chapter till we come to the common ground of Christ's glory in Colossians i. 15, and even here the divine glory of Christ is brought out in Colossians, the simple fact of the purpose of God as to Christ in Ephesians. And not only we have not God's inheritance ours, but in Colossians the Spirit as earnest of it is not spoken of. This indeed we have seen is characteristic of Colos sians. The Spirit is not spoken of, but life. We have the Person and divine glory of Christ, and our com pleteness in Him, more insisted on in Colossians but not the saints' place with God in the same wav. Further, as the saint is looked at as on earth, not in Christ on high, his responsibility is brought in. (chap. I. Colossians i. 3 answers to Ephesians i. 16 only one feels that there is more fulness in the joy of Ephesians i. 16. Faith in Christ and love to all saints are found in each exordium, as the occasion of the writer's joy.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
