Colossians 1:12
Giving thanks unto the Father. In the midst of the trials which
call for patience and long-suffering, still joyful and thankful to the
Father that he
hath made us fit to be partakers. Fit to have a share. Once, then,
they were unfit.
Of the inheritance of the saints. God's infinite love had called
them to be children, heirs, and joint-heirs with Christ. The heavenly
inheritance is meant. To have a share with the saints in light is to be
heirs of heavenly felicity.
In light. Light is a symbol of purity and blessedness. It is in
contrast with darkness in Colossians 1:13.
