Colossians 2:3
_ _ Translate in the Greek order, “In whom (not as Alford, ‘in which’) mystery; Christ is Himself the ‘mystery’ (Colossians 2:2; 1 Timothy 3:16), and to Christ the relative refers) are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden.” The “all” here, answers to “all” in Colossians 2:2; as “treasures” answer to the “riches”; it is from the treasures that the riches (Colossians 2:2) are derived. “Are” is the predicate of the sentence; all the treasures ARE in Him; hidden is predicated of the state or manner in which they are in Him. Like a mine of unknown and inexhaustible wealth, the treasures of wisdom are all in Him hidden, but not in order to remain so; they only need to be explored for you to attain “unto the riches” in them (Colossians 2:2); but until you, Colossians, press after attaining the full knowledge (see on Colossians 2:2) of them, they remain “hidden.” Compare the parable, Matthew 13:44, “treasure hid.” This sense suits the scope of the apostle, and sets aside Alford’s objection that “the treasures are not hidden, but revealed.” “Hidden” plainly answers to “mystery” (Colossians 2:2), which is designed by God, if we be faithful to our privileges, not to remain hidden, but to be revealed (compare 1 Corinthians 2:7, 1 Corinthians 2:8). Still as the mine is unfathomable, there will, through eternity, be always fresh treasures in Him to be drawn forth from their hidden state.
_ _ wisdom — general, and as to experimental and practical truth; whence comes “understanding” (Colossians 2:2).
_ _ knowledge — special and intellectual, in regard to doctrinal truth; whence comes “the full knowledge” (Colossians 2:2). |
