Colossenses 2:1-15 NVIPT

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Colossians 2:13-15

CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY NOTESColossians 2:14. Blotting out the handwriting.—“Wiping out the old score,” as we might say. All that bond which was valid against them Christ had for ever rendered nugatory whilst they confided in His salvation. Against us, which was contrary to us.—We have here the author of those hot protests against work-righteousness. The threatening aspect of the law is expressed in this reiteration. The law not only menaces wrong-doers; it proceeds against them with... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Colossians 2:12

Colossians 2:12 (with Colossians 3:1 ) Buried with Him in Baptism. In our baptism we are made partakers both of the death and resurrection of Christ. I. People in general, thinking as they do more or less slightly about baptism, forget very much the way in which Holy Scripture speaks about it. They think it a right thing to have their children baptised, but they are not very anxious about it. They do it, but they are not sure that they see much good in it. Now compare with this the way in... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Colossians 2:13

Colossians 2:13 The New Life. We notice here I. The state of the natural man "dead in sins." The death which holds the cold, lifeless limbs of flesh, is not more true and not half so awful, as this death that darkens the conscience, and perverts the reason, and corrupts the heart, and wraps up all the soul in the deep lethargy of sin from the call of the Saviour's love. II. The state of the spiritual man quickened together with Christ. Experience of the dead soul we all certainly have had;... read more

DISCOURSE: 2176PROPER DEITY OF CHRISTColossians 2:9. In him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.THE Church of Christ in the first ages was composed of Jews and Gentiles. Now, the Jews were at all times fond of their own superstitions, as the Gentiles were of the dogmas of philosophy: and the two, meeting together upon one common gronud, were ready to incorporate their respective peculiarities with the Gospel of Christ. To what extent this has been done in the Church of Rome, is well... read more
