THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE COLOSSIANS
CHAPTER 1
PUT JESUS FIRST IN THE BIBLE
PUTTING CHRIST FIRST BIBLE VERSE
Lovely to have you here at Daily Bread for our continuing study of the New Testament.
This letter from Paul is addressed to church in Colosse which is in what was
then called Asia back when Paul wrote it, and is now Turkey. His message is
clear ... Make Christ first in everything. Although Chapter 1 is only 6
sentences long in your Bible, Paul packs a lot of praise into each sentence,
so let's get right to it and learn all we can from Paul's words to the
Colossians.
From Paul, an
Apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timotheus (also known as
Timothy) our brother,
To the saints and Faithful brethren in Christ which are in Colosse: Grace be
unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.
PUT JESUS FIRST IN THE BIBLE QUEST
PUTTING CHRIST FIRST BIBLE VERSE EXPLAINED
We give
thanks to God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, praying always for you,
ever since we heard of your Faith in Christ Jesus, and of the love that you
have toward all the saints (believers), for the hope (of eternal life) which
is reserved for you in heaven, which you heard of before in the word of the
TRUTH of the Good News; which has come to you, as it is in all the world;
and brings forth fruit (good things), as it does also in you, since the day
you heard of it, and knew the grace of God in TRUTH, and as you also learned
of Epaphras our dear fellowservant, who is for you a faithful minister of
Christ; who also told us of your love for the Holy Spirit.
For this reason, since the day we heard of it, we do not cease to pray for you,
and to hope that you might be filled with the knowledge of His will in all
wisdom and spiritual understanding; that you walk worthy and please the
Lord, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of
God; strengthened with all might, according to His glorious power, with all
patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; giving thanks to the Father,
which has made us fit to share in the inheritance of the saints in light:
who has delivered us from the power of darkness, and has enraptured us into
the kingdom of his dear Son: in whom we have been set free through His
blood, which is the forgiveness of sins: who is the image of the invisible
God, the firstborn of every creature: for by Him were all things created,
that are in heaven, and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether
they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers (see the Angel
Study in the RELATED STUDIES below): all things were created by Him, and for Him: and he is before
(above) all things, and by Him all things exist.
PUT JESUS FIRST IN THE BIBLE TRUTH
PUTTING CHRIST FIRST BIBLE VERSE MEANING
And He is the head
of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead;
that in all things He might be supreme. For it pleased the Father that in
Him everything should live; and, having made peace through the blood of His
cross, by Him to unite all things to Himself; by Him, I say, whether they be
things on earth, or things in heaven.
And you, that were
sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, still now He
has united in the body of His flesh through death, to present you holy and
unblameable and uncondemned in His sight: if you continue in the Faith firm
and settled, and don't give up the hope of the Gospel, which you have heard,
and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; of which I,
Paul, am made a minister.
I now rejoice in
my sufferings for you, and fill up that which is behind of the afflictions
of Christ in my flesh for His body's sake, which is the church: of which I
am made a minister, according to the order of God which is given to me for
you, to fulfill the Word of God; even (that is to say) the mystery which has
been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made known to His
saints: to whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this
mystery among the Gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: whom
we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we
may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus: for which I also work,
striving according to His working, which works in me mightily.
PUT JESUS FIRST IN THE BIBLE METHOD
PUTTING CHRIST FIRST BIBLE VERSE BLESSING
As you may know
from previous epistles, this kind of introduction of praise and
identification of the Godhead is common for Paul to start off a letter with.
What is the main point in this greeting?
God created everything, and through
(the blood of) His precious Son, Jesus Christ, we have the hope of eternal
life, and the gracious gift of forgiveness that makes our souls snow white
in the Lord's eyes. Therefore, live in Him, by Him, through Him, united with
Him, as part of Him, putting Him first in everything, making Him your
priority, depending on Him, knowing him, being one with Him, loving Him,
needing Him.
Think of it this
way, Jesus IS part of us, and we have no problem putting ourselves first, so
putting Christ first should be easily done. This is another of those great
little reminder note sayings. Put in on your fridge, on the bathroom mirror,
on the frame of your computer screen, on your key chain ... Anyplace where
when you see the words, you can whisper a word of praise to Him in your
mind. Even a quick "love you" can make so much difference in your life,
you'll see.
