Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
All Commentaries on Colossians 1:13 Go To Colossians 1
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
From this power of evil angels nothing delivers man but the grace of God, of which the apostle speaks, “Who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has translated us into the kingdom of the Son of his love.” Israel’s own story illustrates this figure, when they were delivered from the power of the Egyptians and translated into the kingdom of the land of promise flowing with milk and honey, which signifies the sweetness of grace.
