I believe the phrase hope "stored up for you" would have carried tremendous significance because of the time it was written. Acts 11:27-30 mentions that there was a famine in the land around the time when Paul probably wrote his letter to the church at Colosse. So "stored up" meant there was a place not affected by the famine- a place where there was abundance. The church people were tapping into this reserve and overflowing with faith and love. <br />After reading your post I did some research and I found out that the famine was a corn famine. Coincidence that you chose this metaphor? I think not.robbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10389075550962511790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2636304687044691825.post-61542090050069429172011-01-20T11:40:15.833-06:002011-01-20T11:40:15.833-06:00I love books with lots of pictures.
