Charles Spurgeon Commentary Colossians 1:25-27

"whereof I was made a minister, according to the dispensation of God which was given me to you-ward, to fulfil the word of God, [even] the mystery which hath been hid for ages and generations: but now hath it been manifested to his saints, to whom God was pleased 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:" — Colossians 1:25-27 (ASV)

Of which I have been made a minister, according to the stewardship of God which was given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God; even the mystery which has been hidden from ages and from generations, but now has been made manifest to His saints: to whom God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

This is the most blessed of all mysteries. I trust that many of us understand it; may the Holy Ghost reveal it to any who do not know it!

According to the dispensation of God which is given to me for you, to fulfill the word of God; even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints: to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory:

"Christ in you" is glory begun, a sure pledge and guarantee of a glory greater than you can currently conceive. If Christ is in you, you have the beginnings of heaven; you have, in fact, the excellence and flower of heaven, for there is no heaven but the glory of Christ.
