Where are all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge hidden according to Colossians?
According to Colossians, all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ, the mystery of God the Father and of Christ. The passage identifies this hiding place as God, emphasizing that all treasure and knowledge is hid in Him. This truth is stated directly in the Colossians text.
Les explains that Colossians speaks of the mystery of God the Father and of Christ, in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. He points to the little three-letter word “all” and asks where all treasure and knowledge is hidden, answering that it is hidden in God. He then connects this to the revelation of the Trinity, noting that the Old Testament is vague about the triune God even though it has evidences of Him, and that part of the mystery Paul brings out is that God is the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
That their hearts might be comforted, being knit together in love, and unto all riches of the full assurance of understanding, to the acknowledgement of the mystery of God, and of the Father, and of Christ;
In whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
