Summarize Colossians:
Paul spoke the words of Colossians to a scribe whether he was living in a dark pit, chained to a Roman guard or allowed to live in semi-comfort, we do not know.
But, we do know that no matter what Paul’s circumstances where; pain, filth or turmoil he did it all while rejoicing.
All of us would likely say, “God, why have you abandoned me?”
Not Paul—he only saw an opportunity to serve Jesus.
God Inspired these words in
Paul wrote to the church in Colossae to fortify it against false teachers who wanted to impose strict rules:
Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content.
12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound.
In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need.
13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me
Paul wrote to the church in Colossae to fortify it against false teachers who wanted to impose strict rules:
About eating and drinking
Religious festivals
Circumcision
Worshiping angels
Paul introduces and provides much doctrine in this letter
Doctrine is a fancy word for teachings usually about or from Jesus,
We can learn about
Salvation
Christian liberty
Christian ethics
Prayer
Slavery
And, the Christian Sabbath from this letter.
The main emphasis is on Jesus Christ and his position in relation to the universe and the church.
Paul shows the superiority of Christ over all human philosophies and traditions.
In Paul’s view, ‘Christ stands supreme and unique’.
He is before all things, he created all things and he is first over all creation (1:15–18).
Christ’s deity (“He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation” [1:15])
The reconciliation he accomplished with his blood.
- He is the Saviour who delivers us from Satan, v13
He is the Saviour who delivers us from Satan, v13
He makes atonement and brings forgiveness of sins
“by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands.
This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.
He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him”
Paul explains that the right way of living in this world is to focus on heavenly rather than earthly things.
God’s chosen people must leave their sinful lives behind and live in a godly way, looking to Christ as the head of the church (1:18) and chapter 3
Paul’s intention is to bring Jesus Christ to the very front of the Colossians thinking and ours.
That He Christ must be acknowledged, as Creator and Redeemer.
Paul met Christ on his way to kill Christians.
A blinding light
Scales on his eyes
An encounter with the glorified Jesus, he became a Christ-follower.
But it wasn’t just this that gave him spiritual stamina and endurance to run the race.
It was Paul’s complete dependence on God.
God who could overcome not only the visible forces of evil, those that beat him and imprisoned him,
those that beat him and imprisoned him,
but also the unseen forces that lurked in the darkness.

God’s ministry requires many hands, feet, minds and talents and persistence in the work of the church.

It is likely that Colossians, Ephesians and Philemon where all written at about the same time and were brought by these men from Roman to Asia Minor and the Lycus valley.
