Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 2:1
5. The apostle’s solicitude for their unity and stability, Colossians 2:1-5. 1. What great conflict His deep anxiety of soul; an agony of striving. Laodicea was a wealthy commercial city on the border of Phrygia and Lydia, about eighteen miles west of Colosse, the seat of one of the seven Churches of Asia. (See on Revelation 3:14.) The Christians there were evidently exposed to the same danger with those at Colosse. Most of them, in both cities, seem never to have seen their apostle, as... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 2:2
2. Acknowledgment Rather, full knowledge. The apostle’s struggle was that, being closely united together in Christian love, which is a great safeguard against false doctrine, they might by intellectual conviction and the inward working of the Holy Spirit, have a clear and complete persuasion of the truth, or, in other words, a full knowledge of this great mystery of God, so that in their souls finding conscious rest therein, they would be strong against all attempts to shake their... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 2:6
a. Conclusion based upon their experience of salvation. 6. Ye… received Christ Jesus the Lord In this statement of fact the argument culminates. It appeals to their experience. They received the doctrine of Christ from Epaphras, they received Christ himself into their hearts by faith, and it was that Christ the Lord, Creator, and Saviour, who is so fully described in the preceding chapter. They had therein found their soul’s salvation. Their experience verified the doctrine, and... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 2:7
7. Rooted Changing the figure, but always keeping Christ as the element in which this life is lived, we are rooted in him as a tree strikes its roots deep into the soil and becomes better nourished and more immovable, built up in him, as a building upon a rock, adding stone to stone, thus steadily and solidly growing; established, confirmed in the way of faith, just as it was taught at the outset; and abounding in that faith with deep gratitude to God. The apostle having thus... read more
