I'm all the way over into the beginning of chapter 3. We're going to overlap these this sermon and next sermon with Colossians chapter 3 verses 1 through 4 because it's a pivotal point in the letter.
And I was I was reading through the letter and just forming the structure in my own mind.
What was going on.
It seems like this is the Central 3 1 through 4 is kind of the Central Command or the central thing that Paul is trying to urge them into the way that they should live their lives.
That their life should be radically reoriented around who Jesus is as king and we'll see that as we read.
So we're actually going to I'll cover 3 1 through for this week.
And also, it'll be the beginning of our text next week.
We're starting here.
Colossians 2:16.
All right.
So, therefore, let no one pass judgment on you in questions of food and drink or with regard to a festival or a new new moon, or Sabbath.
These are a shadow of the things to come, but the substance belongs to Christ.
Let no one disqualify, you insisting on it asceticism and the worship of angels going on, in detail, about Visions.
Puffed-up, without Reason by his, sensuous mind, and not holding fast to the Head from him, the whole body nourished and knit together through its joints and ligaments grows with a growth that is from God.
If with Christ, you died to the elemental spirits of the world.
Why is, if you were still alive in the world, do you submit to regulations?
Do not handle.
Do not taste, do not touch referring to things that all perish as they are used according to human precepts in teachings.
These have indeed an appearance of wisdom and promote.
Self-made religion and a set of asceticism and severity to the body but they are of no value in stopping the indulgences of the flesh.
If then, you have been raised with Christ seek, the things that are above where Christ is seated, at the right hand of God set your mind on things that are above not on things that are on Earth for, you have died.
And your life is hidden with Christ, in God.
When Christ, who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him and Glory.
Would you play with me?
Jesus.
I pray that you would help us to fix our eyes on you.
Is you were the author and Perfecter of our faith is we read in Hebrews 12, this morning and Sunday school.
May we see.
Have you as our central vision of our mind, maybe see you for who you are.
In your glory and your goodness.
Maybe grow to know you as we read in a fusions.
Maybe be filled with the knowledge of Who You Are.
So that we would be people who reflect you in the world, not shaken or put back by those who would condemn us, or judge us, or look down on us for certain things.
Not shaken from the hope that we have in you help us to fully set.
Our Hope on you Jesus.
As we live this life to honor and glorify you to make your name known to preach the gospel to All Nations to reach our family and friends, who do not know you and power Us by your goodness by your gospel to live for you.
Jesus.
I pray in your name.
Amen.
So Paul continues, this is more of the warning, passage that we looked at last week, where he talked about how he didn't want, these said see to it.
That no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, you?
Because the warn them about the pressures that they are facing and he continues that here in these verses.
Is a quote by CS Lewis.
And he says, I believe that in all men's lives at certain periods.
And in many men's lives at all periods, between infancy and extreme old age.
One of the most dominant elements is the desire to be inside the local ring elsewhere in this essay.
He calls at the inner ring and the terror of being left outside.
He gave that talk call, Deanna rain in 1944 and it's been one of those Sessa that many pastors and thinkers have gone back to.
He is such a keen insight into what goes on in our hearts and our minds.
What he's basically saying is this every single one of us from the time, we are babies to the time.
We die are faced with the pressure of wanting to be on the inside the in-group, The In Crowd as I as you can see.
This was given in 1944.
This was the pressure that they faced back then.
This is the pressure that the Colossians are facing in their day.
This is a pressure that we face today.
We do not want to be left on the outside.
We want to be on an inside type of group.
Want to be in the know, we want to be the In Crowd, whatever that looks like.
And when we get shunned by some in or groups, we then go to another one.
And then we make our home in another group and we pride ourselves and how I'm like this, not like them.
And there's this Insider an outsider mentality that we have.
That we are just, we are, it's inescapable.
It's part of Fallen Human Nature.
This this enticement that says that you can get in, to The In Crowd that you can buy certain actions or certain things, you do certain rituals.
You might follow even that you can fit in with us, right?
Whose are culturally shaped realities, all all over the place or there's also the offer that if you just do this and this and this you might have this experience.
Once you have this experience, you'll be in the know, right?
That's the Temptation that they are facing these Christians and this is not new to humanity.
It was there in the beginning in the garden.
This was the LIE.
Of the serpent.
There's an experience waiting for you.
You're in the outside right now.
Come on in.
It'll open your mind.
You'll see things you never saw before, right?
You're on the outside right now.
Come to the inside, right?
This is the Temptation.
One of the subtle flavors of the way.
That send temps us.
Is a desire to be in and not out?
But the LIE from the beginning.
For Adam and Eve.
The lie was that they were not already in that.
They've been left out by God.
Who is keeping something good from them.
But they had to earn it.
They had to get it, they had to grab it for themselves because he surely wasn't going to give it to you.
The lie that you don't have all the fullness of what there is to experience that you need to do this and do this, and do this, and you'll be in, you'll experience it.
You'll have the fullness of what it means to be human.
So we try to create these things for ourselves in fall in a fallen world.
We live as Fallen people fall in image, bearers throughout all cultures.
We create in crowds and we exclude others, we pass judgment.
We disqualify others from being in with us because they don't match up to this or that or whatever.
And this temptation is not foreign just to this.
Temptation is not foreign to the church, but actually enters into the church.
Right.
As the church, we live in culture that has in crowding-out crowds has people that are in the know, has people that do the right things has people that think the right things has people that have had the right experiences.
And this creeps into the church as well.
