The Supreme Tao of Jesus: A Commentary on Colossians

Our world is rich in knowledge but deficient in wisdom. We can all Google Grey’s Anatomy, but not anyone in their right mind would trust an auto mechanic with a colonoscopy.

Because we’re able to learn so much so fast, we’ve lost the knack for taking the little we know and applying it appropriately before moving on to something more complex.

This is as true for spirituality as it is for everything else.

In Colossians, Paul informs the church that he’s praying for God to fill them with the knowledge of His will through all wisdom and understanding.

“For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all spiritual wisdom and understanding.” Colossians 1.9

Paul doesn’t just want the church to know stuff about God; he wants them to know how to live differently because of what they know. The key point here is living differently.
