For you are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.
All Commentaries on Colossians 3:3 Go To Colossians 3
John Chrysostom
AD 407
This is to prepare the way for drawing them off from pleasure and ease … so that, now, you do not appear. See how Paul has transferred them into heaven itself. For, as I said, he is always bent on showing that they have the very same things that Christ has. Through all his epistles the tenor is this, to show that in all things they are partakers with him. Therefore, he uses the terms head and body and does everything to convey this to them.
