Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Colossians 3:11

DISCOURSE: 2185THE IMPORTANCE OF SANCTIFICATIONColossians 3:11. Christ is all, and in all [Note: The Author, in the preceding Discourse, has treated this text as commentators in general have done, in reference to our justification before God. But he apprehends on further consideration, that it refers rather to our sanctification. In either sense, the position is true, that “Christ is all;” but the latter interpretation seems more exactly to convey the mind of the Spirit in this passage. The... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Colossians 3:1-25

Chapter 3So then,If then you are risen with Christ [If you are risen with Christ... going back to buried with Christ in baptism, now risen with Him], seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God ( Colossians 3:1 ).You're not really bound to these things of the world, the rudiments of the world. You're not under the laws: touch not, handle not, taste not. You've risen with Christ. You're living in a new dimension of life, the spiritual dimension of life. And... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Colossians 3:1-25

Colossians 3:1 . If ye then be risen with Christ, above the darkness and torpor of the present world, as in Colossians 2:20, live in conformity to your hope, by seeking those things that are above. This idea often occurs, and is the more worthy of notice here, because it connects together a grand chain of argument. Christ by his resurrection was liberated from the darkness of the tomb, so believers are made light in the Lord. He was liberated from the power of death, so are the regenerate... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Colossians 3:9-11

Colossians 3:9-11Lie not one to another: seeing that ye have put off the old man and his deeds.Spiritual renewal in ChristThe apostle enforces his exhortation by two arguments: first, “Ye died with Christ,” etc.; second, “Ye have put off the old man,” etc.I. Every christian is the subject of a change. The “old man” refers to our degenerate nature, and “its deeds” the practical outcome of this degeneracy. The “new man” is the new nature, for the creation of which God has provided in His Son. The... read more

Colossians 3:11Where there is neither Greek nor Jew.Comparing the enumeration here with that in Galatians 3:28, we mark this difference. In Galatians the abolition of all distinctions is stated in the broadest way by the selection of three typical instances: Religious prerogative, Jew and Greek; social ,caste, bond and free; natural sex, male and female. Here, on the other hand, the examples are chosen with special reference to the circumstances of the Colossian Church.1. The Judaism of the... read more

Where there is neither Greek nor Jew, circumcision nor uncircumcision, Barbarian, Scythian, bond nor free: but Christ is all, and in all.Where — In which case, it matters not what a man is externally, whether Jew or gentile, circumcised, or uncircumcised, barbarian, void of all the advantages of education, yea, Scythian, of all barbarians most barbarous.

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Colossians 3:11

11. Where In this new order of humanity, of which Christ is the head and representative, no class distinction of worth, or privilege, or disability is recognized, whether based on national differences, as Greek and Jew; on previous religious forms, as circumcised and uncircumcised; on lowness in culture, as Barbarian and Scythian; or on social position, as bond and free. These differences remain as between man and man, but none of them affects their relation to Christ. He is all.... read more
