Bible in Life John Whittaker

Being a Disciple of Jesus 
Jesus' call to us is NOT to be a good church member. His call is to be his disciple. What is a disciple? What did Jesus picture when he calls us to be disciples? 
On this episode, we begin a new era of the Bible in Life podcast by bringing in Steven Norris to cohost the show with John, and they begin by exploring this central them of discipleship to Jesus.

Disarming the Powers of Evil | Colossians 2:15
Jesus' death accomplishes much more than we often realize. Speaking of the benefits of Jesus' death and resurrection, Colossians 2:15 says, "When He had disarmed the rulers and authorities, He made a public display of them, having triumphed over them through Him."
In this episode we reflect on what this means for us.

There's Meaning to Our Suffering | Colossians 1:24  
In this present world, suffering is everywhere and pain is unavoidable. And western societies don't know what to do with this fact. Suffering is an interruption. It's always bad and has no value.
But not in the Bible. Not to Jesus. And not to the Apostle Paul. He writes, 
"Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and in my flesh I am filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions in behalf of His body, which is the church."

An Ode to Jesus | Colossians 1:15-20 - 
15 He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation: 16 for by Him all things were created, both in the heavens and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones, or dominions, or rulers, or authorities—all things have been created through Him and for Him. 17 He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together. 18 He is also the head of the body, the church; and He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, so that He Himself will come to have first place in everything. 19 For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him, 20 and through Him to reconcile all things to Himself, whether things on earth or things in heaven, having made peace through the blood of His cross.

Moving to a New Realm | Colossians 1:13-14  
Becoming a Christian entails a rescue operation in which we are delivered from the realm where darkness reigned to the realm where Jesus is King. 
13 For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son, 14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
