Epistle to the Colossians June 3, 2007

Colossians 1:1-1:8 Greetings of peace and giving thanks for ever- growing faith: “faith” and “love” arising from HOPE laid up in heaven. “celebrate the “ever-fruitful” gospel (“entire world”; “preached in all creation under heaven”, 1:23).

Colossians 1:9-1:20 “spiritual wisdom and understanding SO THAT YOU MAY LIVE WORTHILY--…bearing fruit in every good deed, growing in the knowledge of God…” “kingdom of the Sons he loves”…leads to 1:15-20 (Supremacy of Christ).

Colossians 1:21-29—”ESTABLISHED AND HOLY” V. 24—sufferings accepted for sake of God’s revelation to saints: CHRIST IN YOU!.. TO THIS END DO WE LABOR WITH HIS POWER!? (v.29)

Colossians 2:1-23—ENGAGE THE FALSE PHILOSOPHIES “The knowledge of the mystery of God is Christ,” (2:2) not an esoteric, elitist conception of divine wisdom “deciphered” by humans. “In him are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge…” (2:3).

Colossians 2:6-15—LIVE LIVES IN CHRIST and avoid philosophy based on human traditions and “elemental spirits of the world” (2:8 cf. Galatians). Return to SUPREMACY OF CHRIST—”you have been filled in him, who is head over every ruler and authority” (v. 9-10).

Colossians—POWER OF GOD and False Teaching 2:12-2:15—”faith in the power of God”…”destroyed what was against us”…disarming the rulers and authorities”… 2:16-19—”therefore do not let…Arguments from Hellenistic Jews. Worship of angels; visions…let go of “the head” (Christ). v. 20—”IF you have died to the “elemental spirits of the world”…false humility and worship; unhealthy emphasis on “bodily proscriptions” promotes indulgence.

Colossians 3—LOOK UP 3:1-11—Rather, (“therefore”) keep seeking the things above,” because Christ reigns… V.3—your life is hidden with Christ (contrast with “human” philosophies).. 3:12-17—Exhortation to UNITY OF FAITH and LOVE, HUMILITY, FORGIVENESS False teachings correspond to behaviors that undermine these virtues. Life of church fellowship REQUIRES these virtues (3:13- 17).

Colossians 3 and 4 3:18-24—Household Code/Directions (Ephesians and 1 Timothy) 4:2-6—Considering the onslaught of false teaching, PRAYER FOR GODLY CONDUCT, SPEECH, and EVANGELISM WITH RESPECT TO THOSE OUTSIDE CHURCH SEEMS NECESSARY. Letter ends with specific instructions regarding ministry needs.
