    Season 8 | Short Series | Colossians 1 :19

    00:01 Colossians chapter 1 verse 19. For in him, all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell. I love this portion because it gives me great encouragement. We could read it as "this is because in Him, (Jesus), all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell" What was? *That he (Jesus) is before all things. 00:32 *He (Jesus) is head of the body, the Church. *That he (Jesus) is the one worthy to give life to dead. *He (Jesus) is the one who would reconcile the entire creation to himself. *He (Jesus) has made and is making peace for us through this cross. Why is this(statement) true 01:03 about this man- Jesus? Paul explains it here. He says all this is true: Not because Jesus was a semi-god or a demi god or part god. Not because Jesus was a sage who have attained Nirvana or something of that sort. No. This is not who Jesus is. Paul-says: 01:33 In Jesus the fullness not just anything not a part, not a portion. But all the fullness of God dwelt. And it was pleasing that the fullness of God the dwelt in Jesus. That is amazing. Because 1: Jesus was filled with Only God. He was God In flesh. 02:22 That is what that verse means. It is not made up, he says pretty straightforward. Everything about Jesus reflected the fullness of God. Second(2): God was pleased to dwell. That means it was God's pleasure that 02:49 He came in form of Jesus. 02:56 Three(3): He dwelled in Jesus. It keeps us hope that one day we-too would be able to experience that dwelling with God. And that is possible because Jesus has already done it. What do we take from here? It take these points: One(1): That there's a promise that we will dwell with God. 03:31 Two(2): We have the confidence in that promise because Jesus spoke about it and he cannot lie because he was filled to the brim with God. Three(3): God was pleased that Jesus was doing it. He was joyful that he was doing it for. This joy meant that it was God's pleasure to save you and me. 04:05 And four(4): There is this invitation that God opens up for all who love and believe in Him that they too would be able to see and experience God. Though, we are sinners, we would be able to experience God through Jesus. Because He was One, who had been both God and Man. 04:43 100% God. 100% man. And that makes us Joyful, every time we feel led to temptation. We could see: It pleased God to die for my sin. It, pleased God to come in form of Jesus and be my saviour. And that is a promise that I being a sinner have. 05:14 That He who began this good work in us of sacrifying us, of purifying us, of making us Holy unto Himself will complete it till the day I will no longer be tempted by sin- Will no longer be in-the-presence of sin- Will no longer think about sin. But rejoice that those-days have been long gone, long defeated and I am with Christ and Christ alone. 05:51 God bless you. Have a wonderful day.

    Season 8 | Short Series | Colossians 1 :16

    00:00 Colossians chapter 1:16. For by him, all things were created in heaven and on earth. Visible and invisible whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities all things were created through him and for him. Last time we saw, the Jesus is the image the exact image of the invisible. 00:26 God, the first born of all creation saying that there was no one to create him. He is worthy of all praise and the supremacy of God supremacy of Jesus is exalted in the verse 16 that we are looking today. He says, all things that were created in heaven and on earth that means what it was here around us and all what are the things that are in this space 00:51 And way beyond in the farway galaxies were created by him. But it doesn't stop there. All things were created through him. That means he was the one who created, it was his voice that when he created, when you look at Genesis chapter 1, we see that it says God said, let there be light. 01:13 That means when protons were blasting, through the entire universe giving light, it was his voice that said, let it be light. All things are created through him and now all things were created for him. They are created to give him glory. They are created to give him praise. But wait. 01:40 Is it praise from our lips? No, all things that are visible and invisible. There are billions of massive galaxies and whirlpools of stars and black hole setup, massively huge, which our eyes will never see; on a smaller scale that are nanoparticles, atoms and molecules and electrons and protons, and neutrons, which our eyes cannot see. 02:10 There are even subatomic particles that we can only postulate about. We don't see those things. Then who is praising him. All things that were created to give him glory. Do you see that they were not for us to give him glory? All things are created to give him glory, because It speaks of a massive marvellous 02:41 awesome God whether our lips take to praise him or not. All things were created for him, and for his glory, for his rule, for his majesty. And he doesn't end there. He says whether thrones, dominions, rulers& authorities. That is a very important call that Paul is doing here. He's saying no to emperor worship 03:11 that is going on there. No, to dominions and fear of the evil one. No-to anything that is created not to angelic praise; No one is going to pray to angels because Jesus is beyond that, more powerful than angels. You say no to any authority, that is standing against God. 03:35 You say no, you were created Oh Kings- By Jesus and for Jesus &through Jesus's Word. Therefore you are not as big as Jesus. That is our pray today. In-all things, he is supreme. All things were created for him, through him by him. To display his majesty. Things that are alive. 04:07 Things that are oppressive, things that are kind things that are cute, things that are dangerous and deadly, things that a loud like waterfalls, things that are silent, like the quietness at night, things that are burning hot, like, the centres of stars and things that are freezing cold in the depths of ice. 04:37 All things: are-created to reflect his majesty. Let us, PraiseHim
