       As onlookers, we are typically astonished at the latest iPhone keynote. Or the latest OSU press conference, whether we agree with the decisions or not. Does the minister present the Word of God in an astonishing way? Well, we don’t want to get too out of bounds. The minister may not have the most innovative or fired up speech, but it should bring faith and hope to the table, with some love mixed in, right? But, perhaps like Jesus, it doesn’t hurt for the minister to be as innovative as he can. We know some great Christian thinkers who have been. Rick Warren is coming to mind. What is the mystery? Actually, Paul reveals that for us in the next verse: “To them God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory” (ESV). This is a big verse, a big verse. One of the biggest we’ve come across in Colossians 1. Much to discuss.
