JESUS IS THE ANSWER! (Colossians 2:8-23)

TO:

1) ELITISM! (v8-10)

  • Don’t be kidnapped by HUMAN philosophy & human tradition.
  • You are complete in Christ

 

2) RITUALISM! (v11-15)

  • It is not circumcision that matters but union with Christ

 

3) LEGALISM! (v16-17)

  • Don’t let anyone pass judgement on you.
  • You don’t need the shadow, you have the substance – Christ

 

4) MYSTICISM (v18-19)

  • Let no-one disqualify you with claims of visions and angels.
  • You have the head of the Church – Christ.

 

5) ASCETICISM (v20-23)

  • Self made religion is severe but has no power
