Commentary

Commentary on Colossians 1:26

Theological / Devotional

Mystery. Gr. musterion (see on Rom. 11:25).

Hid from ages. Compare Rom. 16:25; Eph. 3:3, 5, 9. The full blessings of the gospel era were only vaguely apprehended by the patriarchs and the successive generations of men.

Now is made manifest. See on 1 Cor. 2:9, 10; Eph. 3:5.
