• If Christ had been content to accept the position of Messiah according to man, He would have been well received. If Paul had preached circumcision, the offense of the cross would have ceased: man could have taken part in the religion of God, if His religion had recognized man in the flesh. (“Colossians 1” by J.N. Darby)
• Paul then speaks of what it cost him to bring the truth to the saints. He had been bombarded with persecution which caused him much suffering (Acts 9:16; 2 Cor. 11:23-27), and this led to his being in “bonds” in Rome (Col. 4:3, 18). This shows that Satan doesn’t stand by quietly and let the gospel be preached and the truth taught. (“The Fulness That Resides in Christ: Colossians 1-2:3” by B. Anstey)
• This was altogether different from the kind of suffering that the ascetics were advocating. They were mortifying their bodies “to the satisfaction of the flesh” (chap. 2:23), whereas Paul was suffering in his body for the spiritual benefit of Christ’s “body’s sake.” (“The Fulness That Resides in Christ: Colossians 1-2:3” by B. Anstey)
