Colossians 1:13 Colossians 1:13- -23 Col. 1:27-28 (MSG) The mystery in a nutshell is just this: Christ is in you, so therefore you can look forward to sharing in God s glory. It s that simple. That is the substance of our Message. We preach Christ, warning people not to add to the Message. We teach in a spirit of profound common sense so that we can bring each person to maturity. To be mature is to be basic. Christ! No more, no less. 23
