Lesson 28: ...That We Might Have Everything...
Lesson Overview

Today we continue to unpack further the dawning realization about who Jesus is as revealed in the New Testament letters. Having seen how far he was willing to empty himself (and how this self-emptying forms the basis of all Christian ethics), we now probe to what end he did this thing. Looking at Paul’s letter to the Colossian church, we discover a strong emphasis on the preeminence of Christ, both in God’s work in creation, and in God’s work in redemption, and how this preeminence serves the generosity of God in glorifying the human race. Jesus gives up everything and takes what is proper to us, our mortal corruptible natures, so that he can give us what is proper to him, eternal glory.

Key Text(s): Colossians 1:15-3:17; John 1:1-14
Office Texts: Psalms 29, 93; Daniel 7; Colossians 1:9-3:17
