People's Commentary (NT)
Colossians 1:20
Having made peace through the blood of his cross. See notes on
Ephesians 2:14. Christ came to make peace between Jew and Gentile,
man and man, man and God. The means employed was the blood shed on the
cross. Through it the law, the partition wall between Jew and Gentile,
was removed, and both alike have access to God.
By him to reconcile all things to himself. "It pleased the Father"
(Colossians 1:19) . . . "by him (Christ) to reconcile all things to himself"
(the Father). All who accept Christ are reconciled to him, and found in
him, are reconciled thus to God.
Whether things in earth. Human beings.
Things in heaven. Chrysostom explains: Christ not only reconciles
man on the earth, but raises him, who had been an enemy to God, to
heaven and gives him a place there are peace with God, so that in
heavens the fruits of reconciliation are seen forever.
