The Glorious Riches of Christ

“To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the
glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. We
proclaim him, admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom, so that we may
present everyone perfect in Christ. To this end I labor, struggling with all
his energy, which so powerfully works in me” (Colossians 1:27-29).

Let me break this down in short phrases so we can savor them
separately and then again as a whole.
