6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.

vs 8 be careful of philosophy not according to Christ because:
vs 9 In Him: fullness of God in a human body
vs 10 In Him: we are filled with the fullness of God in our human bodies
vs 11-13 In Him: we join in his death and shed our sinfulness (circumcision)
14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands.
This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.
15 He disarmed the rulers and authorities and put them to open shame, by triumphing over them in him.
vs 10 discusses powers and authorities there we see that Christ is their head
Now we see how Christ exercising his supremacyf and lays down his life in such a way that he has victory over rebellious powers and renders them helpless
Christ as human flesh had the powers of evil clinging to him until he cast aside his flesh on the cross defeating them forever
In doing this, he not only triumphed over all evil spirits but also made a public spectacle of their defeat!
In this triumph we see the final solution to the problem the colossians have been trying to answer, how to stop sin’s destruction in this life!
Christ going to the cross removes any power that evil sources may have over us.
The victory of Christ in resurrection and ascension is the exact thing that we need to accept as our own.
We need to personalize it, Christs authority is manifested and “in Him” we share that same authority and victory!
In response, Paul insists that God, by sending Christ to the cross as the final and definitive means to take care of the sin problem, has removed any power that these evil spirits might have over us.
This victory, celebrated and displayed in the resurrection and ascension of Christ, is what believers need to grasp as their own.
Christ’s authority over the rulers and authorities (v.
10) has been decisively manifested; and “in him” believers share that authority.
So what does that triumph mean for us?
Can we be sinless in this life in Christ’s triumph?
Or is it all a victory we join Him in, in the future?
Is God’s triumph something to be felt right now or is something that we have to wait to experience
John 18:36
36 Jesus answered, “My kingdom is not of this world.
If my kingdom were of this world, my servants would have been fighting, that I might not be delivered over to the Jews.
But my kingdom is not from the world.”
God does not want us to be naive as if the kingdom is fully here and God does not want us to be hopeless as if the kingdom has not yet begun.
The kingdom has come and is coming.
God will work his rescue not by obliterating the physical earth but by recreating it.
Using humans, who are part of the problem as well as part of the solution, to bless, redeem, and restore.
We are not only watching God work in the future but we are participants in
So if we are to be participants in this, what are we going to experience now and what later?
A kingdom is a place where someone has rule or governance
God’s of the God’s kingdom
May your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven
-God’s will is done in God’s kingdom
God’s kingdom is everlasting
portrays anticipation for the time when God will be worshiped in all the earth
Jesus ushered in this kingdom in a completely unheard of way
He:
announced that the kingdom came upon those whom he freed from demons
taught that it should be received like a child
the kingdom belongs to the lowly
In these he declares the kingdom is a PRESENT reality that could be experienced by those he taught and to whom he ministered
But Even Jesus describes parts of it left for the FUTURE
shares the parable to his the disciples of a ruler who had to leave before he could return to his kingdom and left them with what good faithful servants should do in the mean time
Paul says that the kingdom is something to be Inherited
kingdom that will not perish
God’s kingdom exists in the “already but not yet”
Jesus initiated the kingdom on earth, wherever God’s will is carried out, the kingdom is a PRESENT reality
But also the kingdom as we see currently is not fully manifested as it will be.
We feel the tension between the world around us and God’s kingdom.
We still see unbelief and denial of God’s rule, brokenness and sin, telling us God’s will is not fully expressed.
A kingdom is a place where someone has rule or governance.
The same is true of the kingdom of God.
Jesus said in His prayer: “May your kingdom come, may your will be done on earth as it is in heaven” (Matt 6:10).
The kingdom of God is where God’s will is carried out.
The Old Testament theme of Yahweh’s rule and reign is another way of describing the kingdom of God.
The psalmist speaks of Yahweh’s kingdom as an everlasting realm that endures throughout all generations (Psa 145:13).
Isaiah declares that Yahweh will save (Isa 33:22) and speaks of a time when God will reign (Isa 52:7).
The Old Testament portrays great anticipation for the time when God will be worshiped in all the earth (Isa 2).
During the first century AD, many Jews believed that the Messiah would initiate this reign, which was based on passages like Malachi 3:1–5; Zechariah 9:9–10; Isaiah 9:1–7; and Isaiah 52:13–53:12.
They also believed that the kingdom would be established through political or military means (compare Matt 26:51–53; Luke 22:47–53)—but Jesus ushered in the kingdom in a radically unexpected way.
