Rooted in Jesus Christ Colossians 2:1 - 10

He is fighting (agon) for them in prayer ROOTED IN JESUS CHRIST Paul’s battle Paul is in prison yet His concern is for his fellow believers, even if he has not met them (1) He is fighting (agon) for them in prayer He is also battling so that his example in prison would encourage others He wants to see a courageous church (2), their hearts encouraged (parakalein) He wants to see a church bound together in love

These mysteries are “hidden” (apokruphos) in Jesus ROOTED IN JESUS CHRIST Paul’s battle He wants to see a church that is clear sighted in wisdom and knowledge moving forward That wisdom and knowledge comes from Jesus through whom the mysteries of God are revealed These mysteries are “hidden” (apokruphos) in Jesus Unlike the Gnostics of his time who claimed special knowledge that was hidden, Paul says that Jesus reveals the truth

We face that same battle today ROOTED IN JESUS CHRIST Who do we listen to (4, 8)? Paul is concerned that the Colossians might be deceived as to what they should believe (4) We face that same battle today We need to avoid seductive lies that will lead us astray in matters of faith Beware of the traditions of men and worldly philosophy that might “kidnap” us Paul is encouraged to hear that they are standing strong together in faith

Be conscious of His presence with us at all times ROOTED IN JESUS CHRIST Rooted and grounded (6,7) Having received Jesus into their lives there is a need to press on (walk in Him) Be conscious of His presence with us at all times Rooted in Him (like a firmly secure tree, its life flowing from its roots) Built up in Him (like a house on strong foundations) Jesus is the source of our life and the strength needed for our stability

If we are in Christ then we are also complete ROOTED IN JESUS CHRIST Complete in Him (9,10 ) While the false teachers would add to what Jesus had done, Paul declares that Jesus is all sufficient Jesus is absolutely unique – all there is of deity is found in Him alone If we are in Christ then we are also complete If you move away from Jesus, no matter what you are promised: you lose He is the One with all authority

Be careful who you listen to or read ROOTED IN JESUS CHRIST LESSONS FOR TODAY Be careful who you listen to or read Anything that tries to add or take away from what Jesus has done or said should be avoided If we grasp the enormity of who Jesus is and what He has done for us then we will be firmly rooted and grounded in our faith How big is your view of Jesus?
