Excerpt from The Epistles of St. Paul to the Colossians and Philemon
TO urge these and the like truths this letter is written. Its central principle is the sovereign and exclusive mediation Of Jesus Christ, the God-man, the victorious antagonist Of these dead speculations, and the destined conqueror Of all the doubts and con fusions Of this day. If we grasp with mind and heart that truth, we can possess our souls in patience, and in its light see light where else is darkness and uncertainty.
SO much then for introduction, and now a few words of comment on the superscription of the letter contained in these verses.
I. Notice the blending of lowliness and authority in Paul's designation Of himself. An Apostle Of Christ Jesus through the will of God.
