"Him we proclaim," Colossians 1:28.
Christ. We announce Christ. We preach Christ. Christ. (Who is the we that goes around broadcasting? Oh, it's Paul, Timothy, Tychicus, Onesimus, Luke, a bunch of others - it's a band of preachers Jesus sent out to make the Announcements. Anyway.) So, what are they telling? Christ. God's big secret. The richness of Christ in his people. They fill up empty people completely with God's word. Why? So that these people be filled with instruction. Taught in all wisdom. Become wholly mature. Fit to be brought into the Presence. In Christ. Word of God.
As we meet with a brother or sister today, we listen to the teaching of Jesus. And, maturing together, we give thanks to God who grows us up into a people ready for his presence.
