Lord of the Church

Slide6

EPHESIANS AND COLOSSIANS

Colossians 1:11-23

Paul begins this letter praising the Colossians for their faith.

Notice that he does not immediately address a doctrinal problem.

The focus of Colossians is the Gospel

Verse 5-6.

Gospel is hope

It is present and future

Slide7

EPHESIANS AND COLOSSIANS

Colossians 1

Paul believes in prayer. He wants the Believers to

Be filled with knowledge

Walk worthy of Christ

Bear fruit

Bear burdens with Power.

Slide8

EPHESIANS AND COLOSSIANS

Colossians 1:11-23

The Dualities. Paul speaks of light and darkness, of spirit and of body, of sin and grace, because these are Greeks. Their philosophy was Socratic– based on the Ideal and the Mundane.\

Paul uses this language to challenge their beliefs and break down their pagan ideals.

It is a great model. These were not weak Christians. Why would he do this, then?

Slide9

EPHESIANS AND COLOSSIANS

I think the point of these verses is that Paul wants these Christians to think of the subtle doctrines that we are acculturated into.

We are socialized into set ways of thinking. For example:

Slide10

EPHESIANS AND COLOSSIANS

The Dualities in Colossians

Light and Dark (12 and 13)

Invisible and Visible (16)

Heaven and Earth (16; 20)

These dualities build up to verse 16.

Paul claims that God is in all and creates all.

The Colossians probably believed that the physical world was evil and

The spiritual world was pure

Slide11

EPHESIANS AND COLOSSIANS

Paul attacks a key philosophy of Greece head-on.

They believed in the duality of nature. That the flesh is sinful and the spirit world is pure. God could never be a man.

Notice how Paul addresses that question. Verses 15; 17; 20 – 22.

Notice God’s sovereignty in these verses in addressing a modern heresy. Which one?

Slide12

EPHESIANS AND COLOSSIANS

What do we learn about Christ in these verses?

Our salvation is secured In Him.

Our salvation was ordained from the foundation of the world.

In Christ our salvation brings richness and

fulness

.

Our salvation is pledged by Christ himself.
