The first verse of the very next chapter in Colossians says that Christ is “seated at the right hand of God.”

Surely you’re not saying that Christ is beside Himself.

Later in that chapter, another reference to two of the three persons included in the Godhead: “do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”

Let’s go back to chapter 1 of Colossians, which includes, “We always thank God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.” Two persons identified there: a Father and a Son.

Yes, triune Creator is beyond comprehension, though Scripture does provide some direction toward understanding aspects of Him.

There are two elements in the spiritual world: good and truth. the Lord is the source of Divine Love and Wisdom -- the ultimate expression of good and truth. We have charity and faith,... and so on.

The Word is full beginning to end of these pairs. Power and Glory comes to mind. This is how to best understand the Lord and his kingdom.
