The Journey Through Colossians

History tells us—indeed, our own lives tell us—that following Christ is no easy task. There are challenges from temptations and the pressures of our culture. There are even intellectual and philosophical challenges, which push us to compromise biblical teaching by adapting it to, or merging it with, current ideas. Such challenges are not new. The church in first-century Colossaefaced the same kinds of issues. The answer is not new either. Just like the Colossian church, we need to be reminded of the supremacy of Jesus Christ in who He is and what He has done and given a fresh understanding of what we possess in Him. The book of Colossians gives us exactly that.
