Introduction
Gonna be in Colossians tonight.
Context of the scripture reveals a vague purpose for writing.
Through implication we can assume it may be a variety of things.
Jews pushing works in order to be right with God.
Mystical teaching pulling away from the deity of Christ.
Because of these, the issue may be a “lack of understanding” of just who Christ is.
Look at the text and let’s discover what’s going on with why Paul dropped .
Read .
Possible answer to the purpose..?
Paul expresses deep gratitude for the Gospel success and he explains how and why.
Perfect.
He’s pushing “successful Gospel” work to go deeper and further.
In fact, he’s so serious about it, he expresses a deep desire with…don’t be satisfied with “good,” because this is great and NOT SOMETHING TO BE BORED WITH.
Analogy.
Getting excited about something really, really stupid.
What’s an example?
Answer: People can get excited about really random stuff and will certainly continue to do that.
That’s okay, a little silly, but whatever it’s okay.
Jesus is an entirely different reason to get excited.
Like Paul described…it’s a hope.
He says...
This is HUGE.
This is what we can all get excited about and it not be weird.
It’s not weird getting excited about this like it would be about something not so important.
There’s nothing that compares to the majesty of what’s in .
What we’re focusing on tonight...
“He is the image of the invisible God..” Do what?
He’s manifested himself in Jesus and this is revealed to us in 3 ways.
Jesus literally walked the Earth and brought God here.
The Holy Spirit in us…Christ in us, the hope of Glory.
Remember Israel at the mountain of God, scared, asking the question - “How can this God dwell with us?”
Also, it doesn’t matter Jew or Gentile…the amazing thing salvation is available to all because of Jesus.
The Word of God is Jesus….
