Do They All Know Christ?


Dec. 21, 2013– Colossians 1 
Colossians 1  The apostle Paul salutes the Colossians, and blesses God for their faith, love, and hope. (1-8) Prays for their fruitfulness in spiritual knowledge. (9-14) Gives a glorious view of Christ. (15-23) And sets out his own character, as the apostle of the Gentiles. (24-29)” -  Matthew Henry Concise



Dear Saints,


Today we prayerfully continue our Feast in the book of Colossians.  By reading Colossians 1.

Colossians An Overview  “This epistle was sent because of some difficulties which arose among the Colossians, probably from false teachers, in consequence of which they sent to the apostle. The scope of the epistle is to show, that all hope of man's redemption is founded on Christ, in whom alone are all complete fulness, perfections, and sufficiency. The Colossians are cautioned against the devices of judaizing teachers, and also against the notions of carnal wisdom, and human inventions and traditions, as not consistent with full reliance on Christ. In the first two chapters the apostle tells them what they must believe, and in the two last what they must do; the doctrine of faith, and the precepts of life for salvation.” -  Matthew Henry Concise

In Colossians 1 Paul is saying that, faithful fellowship with all Christians is observed by saints everywhere.  He goes on to say Jesus will be glorified by their faithfulness.  Paul proclaims that suffering for the body is equal to suffering for the head.  “28 Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. 29 For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.  Colossians 1:28-29  - English Standard Version (ESV).  
These scriptures remind us that faith, hope, and love, are in the nature of the Christians (see Colossians 1:5-6).   We now are the elect Saints that have matured to carry the love of Jesus to the world.  “6 And while they were there, the time came for her to give birth. 7 And she gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn.Luke 2:6-7 ESV.   Now they recognize Jesus as the baby in a manger.  If we are faithful to carry the Word of God to the world they will understand who Jesus really is (see Matthew 28:16-20). 

Jesus let us carry your Word to the world this Christmas season! Hallelujah!
