Colossians 2:1-7 How to Become Deep Rooted

The heretics in Colosse spoke of hidden spiritual treasures which could only be revealed by deciphering cryptic codes, learning secret phrases, and undergoing elaborate rituals. This intrigued and appealed to some just like the serpent’s suggestion that God was hiding something from them intrigued and appealed to Adam and Eve. We have a certain curiosity about secrets and our pride is often seduced by the thought of becoming members of a secret society. We tend to like the feeling of knowing more than others and so the suggestion that there was more to know…that there were secrets hidden from the average person not only intrigued but tempted many to go off course. This is what Paul addresses today.
