He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. 19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross. IF YOU REALLY WANT “PEACE” LISTEN TO ME False teachers always offer a false path to peace! The path to peace offered by false teachers has the appearance of wisdom, but is a mirage. In Colossae, people were being sold "peace" through complex human additions: rigid rules, rituals, angel worship, and severe self-denial. Only in Christ can true peace be found… Col. 1:15-20 HE IS THE HEAD OF THE BODY Christ is supreme over creation… and supreme over the church… Col. 1:18; Christians must not let others judge our simple-and-sincere faith in Christ as insufficient in any way… Col. 2:16-19 Jesus never pointed to anyone other than himself as Savior… John 5:24; 10:9 We must all decide if Jesus’ testimony about himself is true… John 11:25-26 HE IS THE BEGINNING, THE FIRST BORN FROM THE DEAD As the beginning and firstborn from among the dead… Christ is supreme over the afterlife! Believers will one day receive new resurrection bodies like that of Jesus… Phil. 3:20-21 There is nothing to which you point in this life or the life to come… in which Christ isn’t supreme! Jesus is the great high priest who lives forever… Heb. 7:23-25 ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD WAS PLEASED TO DWELL In Christ all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell… 1:19 This is a direct blow to the false teachers who sought "fullness" through other means. It’s through his blood on the cross that we have peace… Col. 1:20; John 3:36 Peace with God… Rom. 5:1 Peace with others… Eph. 2:14-16 Peace in creation… Rom. 8:20-23; Rev. 21:1-4 Jesus is the Prince of Peace… Isa. 9:6; John 16:33 Who or what are you trusting for your salvation?
