Title: Head of the Church/Colossians 2:6
Contents The book of Colossians when Paul was imprisoned in Rome (AD 62-63)
As a prison epistle to the members of the church, the law and the core of Judaism
And because it is located in an area where it is easy to access Greek philosophy,
The philosophy of Ra digs into and disturbs the gospel that forms the center of the church.
This book is written to know the facts and strictly reject them.
All. At that time, the city of Colossae was known for its high-quality wool and woolen fabrics.
Beautifully painted on fabrics, etc., and dyed in good quality, world-class
It was an international city known as
It was an important trade route as one of Uigwanmun Gate.
Most of the members of the church were Gentiles who had converted to Christianity.
However, due to locational conditions and environmental influences, Judaism’s legalism and Greek

When Paul came to know about it, he never went to the church he had planted.

Of course, I followed and believed in the gospel that was already preached, but some outsiders
It was a church that was in a state that was too difficult to endure due to its influence.

For that reason, if you look at what is written, the church is
We must find a solution centering on Jesus Christ and in Jesus Christ.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the only savior and absolute sovereign.
He stresses that we must not be shaken in it.
Even today, Jesus Christ is the One who fills all in all.
He is the fullness (Ephesians 4:23) and the head of the church. Therefore we call Him
To serve as our head, all our thoughts and actions must be governed by His rule.
have the duty and responsibility to obey his commands
Like the members of the Colossian Church, after receiving the gospel, it is different from other teachings.
You must not follow other teachings and other ideas.
Cows may tempt us and tempt us, but nothing but the gospel.

is.
But our faith is not shaken because we do not know this fact
There is a problem that it shakes even though you know it.
I think it is natural that faith is shaken because we do not know
There will be no yo.
But why does our faith fall into such a contradiction?
It is necessary to diagnose what is the reason. Further, we
As long as you decide to serve God and enter the church, what level of faith do you have
You should also think about whether you should reach this point. Today's text is two ears.
It's only a verse, but these two short verses tell us the right thing to follow here.
I'm giving you the answer. I'm thinking of the words of the text tonight.
Through the understanding of the Holy Spirit's understanding of the grace of the Lord,
We want to testify to the Word, hoping that we can all relate.
First, consider what it means to believe in Jesus.
you will have to go
To say that we believe in Jesus means according to the text {Jesus mainly
received}. That is, it means that you have received Jesus as your Savior.
You can think of several meanings in this verse.
First, it means that I knew that Jesus Christ was my savior and believed in the Lord.
Next, Jesus Christ is in absolute control over everything in my life.
Recognizing that he is a master who can act as an absolute sovereign, his words
Previously, it meant that he expressed his servile will to obey and be loyal.
It means that we can accept it as a word. That is, in these words, Jesus is the Lord.
Before Rogi, I was mainly serving other things, but now I am serving
This is the person who is called Jesus, and the person who is the object of obedience and loyalty is Jesus.
It means that it has been changed to
Today, the word {Lord} has a different meaning than what it meant in the days of Jesus.
They had very different meanings. At first, this word meant supreme authority.
Come on, do you mean the supreme one, the one who is above all things, and the lord of all?
The word "Lord" is the Greek word {kyrios}, which means slaves.
It is a word used to refer to the owner of this self.
, and if the first letter is capitalized, the Roman Empire
It was used as a word to mean only one person with authority. So, invite
At the time of the church, Caesar was the Lord. Especially at that time
Whenever these soldiers met on the street, they always said, "Caesar is the Lord.
"I had to say hello. Then the other person said, "That's right, Caesar.
It was the etiquette to answer, "It's yours." Therefore, at that time
For Christians, this is usually a serious problem.
C. Because when they say, “Caesar is Lord,” they say, “No, Jesus.
Christ is our Lord."
All.
So Christians began to run into trouble.
It was reported to the emperor and officially reported as a factor in subjecting him to persecution.
Because it was formed. It is the high that Caesar the emperor called Lord
Not only because of jealousy for not receiving the title, but also because of submission to other powers
This is because the object of fact and loyalty was Jesus Christ, not the emperor.
will be
In this way, the meaning of the fact that we mainly received Jesus has a deep meaning.
We believe that it is the Lord who really commands our lives.
And with the determination to be loyal only to Him, Jesus Christ
You will have to reflect on whether you are relying on it.
Second, what obligations those who have received Jesus as Lord have?
There is.
Those who have received Jesus as Lord always have a duty to act in Jesus.
The text says that it is. The second half of verse 6 {walk in it;
} means to walk only in Jesus and act only in Jesus and in Jesus
It means to think, speak, and do everything continuously.
are going
In other words, it means that we do not live centered on ourselves, but rather that we live centered on Jesus.
Not only pursuing joy, but living for the joy of Jesus.
Yo, not doing my own will, but living according to the will of the Lord.
Miyo, not only live for the kingdom of the world, but for the kingdom of God
It means to live. Living according to the winds and fashions of this world is
Rather, it means to live according to the principles of the kingdom of God.
Therefore, when we say that we believe in the Lord, it ends at the level of receiving
It's not about throwing it away, it's about staying with the confession of the lips
Stay at the level the Lord wants us to be, as Jesus wants us to do
is to live.
However, Paul told the Colossian church that he had to walk in it.
When I say that I emphasize a lot of mana, I say it 15 times. {Jesusan
in} or {in him} {in the Son} {in Christ}
that's what you're doing. Then, because of what was in it, Paul continued to
Is it repeating the word "in that"?
1) It is said that there is redemption, that is, the forgiveness of sins. (1:14) Human problems are the
That's a problem. As long as the problem of sin is not resolved, there will be peace in the global village.
You can not.
2) He says that he has the power to stand up to perfection. (1:28) Human beings have sin
It is in an imperfect state because of it. The more imperfect, the more secure
There is not.
3) It says that all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge are hidden. (2:3) Humanity
Since the beginning of history, there are many things that humans have been looking for.
Among them, the most desired is a treasure. Because of this treasure, it is a tragedy.
This happened, war broke out, and things that killed and saved people's lives were repeated.
Come on.
This treasure is not a treasure that merely reminds us of some material value.
It is the treasure of wisdom and knowledge. It is not a partial treasure, but wisdom and
All treasures of knowledge.
4) It is said that there was the filling of the Holy Spirit in him. (2:10)
Receive in Jesus the fullness of the Holy Spirit, which you have neither known nor seen nor understood.
it's gone.
5) It says that in him we, who were dead in our sins, were raised to life.
(2:12) We are already dead in spirit.
He moved us from death to life by his resurrection.
Third, clarify what it means to act in it.
There is.
1) It is to have the root of faith in Jesus. These words are our God.
It is the content that compares the hem to a single tree.
The silver tree is a tree that has deep roots in the ground.
The saint who will not fall for Satan's delusion and the sweet temptation of heresy is Jesus.
He is the one who has deep roots in faith.
To dig deep means to know Jesus deeply.
The deeper you know, the deeper the roots of your faith will be.
2) You must be built up in it. These words are like Paul building a house.
It is saying that the same principle as building a celebration is faith.
The houses of the world are built with materials that will be destroyed by fire (wood, grass, straw), but faith
They say that in order to build a house of
Yes. According to the contents of 1 Corinthians 4:10-15, it is necessary to build a house of faith.
The foundation is Jesus Christ, and the building material is gold, silver, or precious stones.
It is said that it should be used, but these materials are not related to water, fire, or the environment.
It means that it does not change without change.
Some people build a house of faith based on their own thoughts, so faith often
Some people build a house of faith based on their feelings.
Some people build a house of faith based on their own feelings.
C. Some build a house of faith on knowledge.
We must build a house on the words that do not change and do not disappear even if they change.
C. Building the house of faith on Jesus Christ, who is our rock
is.
3) As you have been taught in it, stand firm in your faith and overflow with thanksgiving.
must do. The reason we fall and stumble is because Jesus taught us
Not because I didn't know, but because I couldn't stand firm in faith in the lessons I received.
This is the reason why we are prone to heresy.
What other cults are prone to? Even if you say you stand in faith
He is a person who is not thankful, grumbles and complains. There is fire everywhere in the church.
There must be ten thousand forces. The church is disturbed by the forces of dissatisfaction.
However, because of the condemning forces that cannot tolerate the dissatisfied forces, the church is more difficult.
We should know that it can be boring. Why is there a Salvation Sect on this earth?
Are you even obscuring the image of the Christian world in this land?
Instigating dissatisfied forces, and the deceived saints fell into delusion
It is because they lost. To be more specific, those who harbor dissatisfaction with the church.
They did not embrace them in the church, they did not understand them with love, they
Because they only hit the mace, they lost their place and became deceived by them.
standing there.
In other words, the church does not follow the teachings of Jesus.
It is because there is. Personally, they are strong in the words they have been taught.
It's because I couldn't stand, and even if it's because of my faith, I'm not thankful and resentful
Because I was constantly complaining.
We must think deeply about this fact. Knowing Jesus
As much gratitude and as ignorance, as much as dissatisfaction and deep knowledge of Jesus
You have to admit that your faith is as strong as you don’t know and you are weak in your faith.
The Bible tells us to blindly believe without knowing God.
I do not say. The question of faith is how much you know Jesus.
This is a problem. If we say that there is one big problem in our Korean church,
For quite a long time, at the pulpit of the church {If you don't understand it, believe it} {The Bible
Don't try to understand, just believe.}{If you say Amen unconditionally, you will be blessed.
}{Inquiry is damaging to your faith}, etc. Blindly blind obedience
It was the day that made a believer.
A believer who did not know Jesus and believed unconditionally is a very ignorant believer
I jumped into unconditional faith without trying to know Jesus deeply.
