Colossians 1:1-29 Esv
The church occupies a place of tremendous importance in the mind of Christ, and it should be extremely important in our estimation as well.
We sense its importance by the prominent space it occupies in the New Testament. Also it claimed a significant place in the ministry of the apostles. Paul, for instance, spoke of his twofold ministry - to preach the Gospel and to declare the truth of the church (Ephesians 3:8-9). The apostles spoke of...

The Almighty Maker of all demands no more of anything he has made than he has made it capable of yielding. Although when each tree yields its appropriate fruits. The plants of righteousness have per-eminence above all the trees of the field; for on their boughs, they bear, wonderful to relate, many varieties of fruits. There is one Spirit; but his fruit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance. How beautiful when the trees planted in the courts...

Everything was created through Him and for Him. (Colossians 1:16 NLT)
The key to everything with God is Life.... We must realize that Christ's ascendancy, supremacy, power, ability and all that goes with Headship, is in terms of His prerogative of Life. He is the Son, vested with Life; He has the right given Him of God to give Life to as many as believe. That is why He is Head....
Bible Verses: Colossians 1:16
Read MoreI am glad when I suffer for you in my body, for I am participating in the sufferings of Christ that continue for His Body. (Colossians 1:24 NLT)
Paul knew something of that "suffering for His
Body's sake"; "filling up that which was lacking of the sufferings of Christ."
We must face that! The thing that is going to count for God is the sharing in
His travail.
Bible Verses: Colossians 1:24
Read MoreGod was pleased to have all His fullness dwell in Him. (Colossians 1:19 NIV)
The next thing I am going to say may be difficult to accept, just as it is difficult to say, and yet faithfulness demands that things like this should be said. There is going to be a tremendous surprise one day over this matter. There is a tremendous amount of energy, and activity, and machinery, and zeal and devotion in...

Read MoreChrist in you, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27)
We feel the importance of saying a word with
regard to Christ in heaven and Christ within the believer, that is, what is
objective and what is subjective. It is tremendously important that we should
keep a proper balance of truth. A very great deal of our trouble is because of
there being an unbalanced emphasis upon...

Christ in you, the hope of glory. (Colossians 1:27)
What does this mean? Not that I come before God saying, “I have had pure motives; I have been very honest, earnest and conscientious, and my intentions have all been of the best.” Let us stop talking nonsense. It is utter folly to talk like that. We do not know ourselves. Only God knows the truth about us, and none of that finds a...

was pleased to live in Christ.
(Colossians 1:19 NLT)
Do not
take these as just words. Do understand that in every
fragment there is this truth: In the dispensation in
which you and I are now living God has come to us in all
His fullness. There is no more to be added. In His Son we

Read MoreFrom Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him
be the glory forever! (Romans 11:36 NIV)
It is necessary that we should be quite clear
that, in the Bible, there are not two distinct things, as represented by the two
Testaments, the Old and the New, or even more, if the Old Testament is
subdivided into eras. There may be two, or more, methods of...

Man never finds real joy till he finds the Lord. Then he enters in to what Peter calls "joy unspeakable and full of glory" (1 Peter 1:8).
Anyone can rejoice when circumstances are favorable, but the joy which is the fruit of the Spirit is not the result of earthly circumstances. It springs from our relationship to the Lord and from the precious promises He has given to us. Christ would have to be dethroned before the Church could be finally...
