Colossians 1:29 "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: Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: Whereunto I also labour, striving according to his working, which worketh in me mightily."
The way sentences are structured in the Bible, it can be difficult at times to sort out exactly what the writer is talking about sometimes. In this verse you could paraphrase what Paul is saying thus,
"Christ, Who is our hope, is Who we preach to the world. This is the end toward which I am laboring. I am to endeavoring with strenuous zeal along with the help of His superhuman power to do this. And His superhuman power is actively at work, putting forth power, aiding me, working for me."
Do you feel that there is superhuman power working inside you? Are you laboring toward the end which Christ has called you to?
Then ask yourself this - are you satisfied with how you answered the previous questions? If not, what would have to change in your life so that you could answer them in a satisfactory way?
