Christ in you Colossians 1:24 - 29

Paul is in prison yet he is still rejoicing, why? CHRIST IN YOU Paul’s suffering (24) Paul is in prison yet he is still rejoicing, why? He expects that God’s servants will suffer in this world Suffering for being righteous Suffering because he follows Jesus Suffering for the sake of the gospel The same kind of sufferings that Jesus endured Suffering for the church, God’s Body on earth

God had called him on the road to Damascus CHRIST IN YOU Paul’s ministry (25) God had called him on the road to Damascus His ministry was to present God’s word He was to serve the church through his teaching He was to teach on the “mystery” that had been revealed by God in Jesus Offering the gospel is a first step but the church needs to be built up through obedience to God’s Word The Lord wants His babes in the faith to be nourished and nurtured

The church is the Body of Christ on earth CHRIST IN YOU What is the mystery? (26 - 27) What had been hidden from the Gentiles throughout the age was now being revealed to those whom God was saving (the saints) The apostles had the task to share the truth about the church and God’s intentions for it The church is the Body of Christ on earth All believers are part of this Body Jesus is the head of the Body

Gentiles are welcome in the Body, not just Jews CHRIST IN YOU What is the mystery? (26 - 27) Gentiles are welcome in the Body, not just Jews In the Old Testament there were hints that God would welcome repentant Gentiles, now that truth has been fully revealed God is forming one Body of Jews and Gentiles to be His people Jesus is not only the head of the Body but He also fills it, He fills each believer (indwells) This intimate relationship with God inspires us to believe that we will share in His glory

There is an urgency about sharing the truth of the gospel CHRIST IN YOU Sharing the truth (28 - 29) Paul labours to ensure that as many as possible are taught the truth of what God has done This teaching includes warnings – Jesus’ claim on people’s lives is a serious matter The glorious truth has a flipside – the awful wrath of God upon those who are disobedient There is an urgency about sharing the truth of the gospel Just as a priest offered perfect sacrifices so Paul wants those who he has seen saved presented to God mature

There is an urgent need for the gospel to be proclaimed CHRIST IN YOU LESSONS FOR TODAY There is an urgent need for the gospel to be proclaimed The work of the gospel is not easy and never has been The truth of the church as God’s Body on earth is vital Believers are indwelt by Jesus through His Holy Spirit We must work to become mature in faith enabled by Him
