The Incomparable Christ – Exposition of…

Colossians 2:8-15The Incomparable Christ Please turn with me in your Bibles to Colossians 2. We will concentrate on verses 8-15, but we will begin reading at verse 6 where we looked at this great book the last time. Colossians 2:8-15 “Lord, this is Your word and it was a word that You have given to us, not just to the Colossians, but to Your people of all ages and even to us this day. So You mean it for our edification, for our instruction, for our training in righteousness. So by Your word and by Your Spirit, reprove us, rebuke us, correct us and build us up in the Lord. We ask, O God, that You would give us seeing eyes and hearing ears and willing hearts to be obedient to Your word. Search us out by the Spirit to find if there is any unclean thing in us and speak to us by Your word, we…

Colossians 3:1-8Incomparable Christ Turn with me in your Bibles to Colossians, chapter 3. You remember that all along of our study in this Book, we have said that Paul has focused on the incomparable Christ. He has attempted to teach us that Christ is supreme, in Him is all blessedness, and therefore we are not to seek blessedness outside of Him. He is the all-sufficient Christ. In chapter 1 Paul focuses on the person and work of our Lord Jesus Christ. In chapter 2 we see the apostle Paul deliver five warnings against those who might call in to question the all-sufficiency of the incomparable Christ. We saw him speak against persuasive speech drawing us away from the sufficiency of Jesus Christ in verse 4 of chapter 2. We saw him speak against false speculation leading us away from Christ…

Colossians 3:5-17The Incomparable Christ Please turn with me in your Bibles to Colossians, chapter 3. We’ll begin in verse 5. You’ll remember that Paul has been stressing throughout this book that believers are complete in Christ. In chapter 1 he focuses on the supremacy and the sufficiency of Christ Himself. And he says if the believer will understand who Christ is and what He has done, much of the Christian life will fall into place. In chapter 2, we saw him give warnings against five different types of false teachings that were being brought into the church at Colossae. And he warns against them as being out of accord with the truth of the supremacy of Christ, the Lordship of Christ and the sufficiency of Christ. The fact is that we have everything that we need as believers in…

We have said throughout our study of His book, that God reveals in His word, through His book, that believers are complete in Christ.

Colossians 4:7-18The Incomparable Christ Part 17 Turn with me in your Bibles to Colossians, chapter four. We've come to the final exposition in this book. In verse 7, Paul begins his final words, his epilogue, his selection of greetings, and final directions, and words of appreciation. Throughout our study, we have noted that the great theme of this book is that believers are complete in Christ. It's very interesting that Paul works that theme even into his final words of greetings. And…
