       Colossians 2, starting in verse 6: “Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him” (ESV). We discussed last time the fact that in Christ are “hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Wisdom and knowledge. That was the emphasis of the our last paragraph, which was the first paragraph of Colossians 2. That being the case, that explains why the “Therefore” is present in this verse—because it is telling us why we should “walk in him,” walk in Christ. Christ is our bedrock, our foundation. And what a wonderful foundation he is, because really that is the essence of life. All life stems its origin back to Christ—it was from him it came. John 1:2 "He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made” (ESV). And, verse 17 from Colossians 1: “in him all things hold together” (ESV).
