The Superior Family

Paul emphasizes the superiority of Jesus Christ in his message to the Colossians by focusing on the social order of family. He explains that Godly family relationships reflect the nature of God and are given equality and dignity under Christ. Paul highlights how sinful desires for superiority and control distort God’s intended order, leading to selfish ambition. The hope of the Gospel is that Jesus used His superiority out of love for our salvation, not for selfish ambition.

Putting on Joyful Cloths

In Colossians 3, Paul continues the theme of the supremacy of Jesus Christ and His sufficient work in our lives. In fact Paul takes it to another level by proclaiming that when we put our faith in Jesus, our lives are hidden with Christ. In light of this joyful assurance we are called to seek the things that are above and to live as the true citizens of God’s glorious kingdom.

Supreme in Your Life

In Colossians Chapter 2, Paul emphasizes the personal nature of Christ’s supremacy. Jesus is not only supreme over eternity, creation, and the church, but also over our lives. Paul urges us to walk in Jesus as needy beggars, receiving grace and the security of having our lives governed by His supremacy.

Joy in Suffering

Our suffering can become a window into the immense love God has for us!
