Enticing words may easily play upon our ignorance: rationalism may appeal to the intellect, ritualism to the emotions and superstition to the imagination; but none of these things will reveal Christ to the soul, or form Christ in our lives. They do not lead to Christ. To meet all these evils and preserve us from them, the apostle presents Christ. Having received Christ, He is the power for our walk; we have everything in Him; we are identified with Him; we derive all nourishment from Him. Hamilton Smith provides once again a great service in this volume, never before published in book form, in sharing, in his easy-to-read style, the results of his own reading and studying of Colossians in order that another generation can enjoy the practical lessons of this epistle.

About the Author
Hamilton Smith (1862-1943), born in Barnes, Surrey, started work in the office of his uncle's building firm. By 1901, married and with a young family, he had retired from the building trade and entered full-time upon the task of building up the church of God. His personal ministry was delivered in the United Kingdom, but his written ministry is still read worldwide. Along with H P Barker, A J Pollock, J T Mawson and F B Hole he frequently contributed articles to Scripture Truth magazine, many of which were later published in books by the Central Bible Truth Depot. His written expositions of Scripture are brief: in keeping with a desire to be nothing and to give Christ all the glory. Yet they are clear and very much to the point: We are to speak as those who, by grace, know the certainty of the truth they proclaim. He is probably best known for his Old Testament character studies and New Testament outlines.
