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,
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!
Is Jesus calling
you? Do you want to experience perfect
love? Do you want to find true
happiness, peace and purpose in your life?
