FIRSTBORN FROM AMONG THE DEAD / COLOSSIANS 1:18

(KJV) Colossians 1:18

 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

FIRSTBORN FROM AMONG THE DEAD / COLOSSIANS 1:18

Jesus Christ was the first to rise from the dead with a spiritual and immortal body (1 Corinthians 15:20). Others who were raised from the dead eventually died again (2 Kings 4:35; Luke 7:15; John 11:44; Acts 9:36-41; 20:7-11). On the day of His resurrection, Jesus became head of the church – the worldwide, all-time community of all true followers of Christ. The New Testament church began on that day, when the disciples received the Holy Spirit. The fact that Christ is the “firstborn from among the dead” gives the blessed hope to all believers that there will be a final resurrection of all those for whom He died (Christ died for all, and all will be raised again – those who accept Him will be raised to eternal life with Him, and those who do not accept Him will be raised to eternal punishment and separation from God; John 5:28-29).

BY HIM ALL THINGS WERE CREATED / COLOSSIANS 1:16

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Colossians 1:16

 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:

BY HIM ALL THINGS WERE CREATED / COLOSSIANS 1:16

Paul affirms the creative activity of Christ. 

  1. All things, both material and spiritual, owe their existence to the work of Christ as the active agent in creation: “Through Him all things were made” (John 1:3; Hebrews 1:2). 
  2. In Him all things hold together and are supported, kept going, provided for (Colossians 1:17; Hebrews 1:3).
  3. Seven times in six verses Paul mentions “all creation,” “all things” and “everything,” stressing Christ’s supremacy and full authority overall. This includes any “thrones or powers or rulers or authorities,” which was likely a reference to the hierarchy (rank, organization, chain of command) of angels that was a prominent part of the false teaching that was coming into the Colossian church (Colossians 1:2; Colossians 2:18).

STRENGTHENED … ACCORDING TO HIS GLORIOUS MIGHT / COLOSSIANS 1:11-12

(KJV) Colossians 1:11-12

 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

STRENGTHENED … ACCORDING TO HIS GLORIOUS MIGHT / COLOSSIANS 1:11-12

In order to live in a manner worthy of being associated with and representing the Lord (Colossians 1:10), we must be strengthened by His power. This infusion of power is an ongoing experience of receiving from God His own lids by the presence of the Holy Spirit within us. Nothing else can enable us to overcome sin (the natural tendency to go our own God-defying way), Satan and the world (Philippians 4:13).

WE HAVE NOT STOPPED PRAYING FOR YOU / COLOSSIANS 1:9-12

(KJV) Colossians 1:9-12

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding; 10 That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God; 11 Strengthened with all might, according to his glorious power, unto all patience and longsuffering with joyfulness; 12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:

WE HAVE NOT STOPPED PRAYING FOR YOU / COLOSSIANS 1:9-12

This is one of Paul’s four great New Testament prayers, recorded under the inspiration of the Spirit (the other three are Ephesians 1:16-19; 3:14-19; Philippians 1:9-11). These prayers provide excellent examples of how to pray for others, such as our friends, our parents, our children, other Christians, missionaries, pastors, etc. We must pray that they come to 

  1. Understand God’s will (Colossians 1:9).
  2. Gain spiritual wisdom.
  3. Live in a way that is holy (morally pure, spiritually whole, separated from evil and dedicated to God) and pleasing to the Lord.
  4. Bear fruit for Christ (serve Him effectively with the desired results in ministry and character).
  5. Be strengthened spiritually by the Holy Spirit.
  6. Continue in faith and righteousness (a right relationship with God and the power of His Spirit to do what is right by His Standard).
  7. Give thanks to the Father.
  8. Live with their hope focused on heaven.
  9. Experience Chrit’s nearness.
  10. Know and experience Christ’s love.
  11. Be filled with God’s fullness ( receive and experience all that He wants for us through a deeper relationship with Him.
  12. Show love and kindness to others.
  13. Discern between good and evil, right and wrong, truth and error.
  14. Be sincere and blameless.
  15. Await with eagerness the Lord’s return.

KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL / COLOSSIANS 1:9

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Colossians 1:9

For this cause we also, since the day we heard it, do not cease to pray for you, and to desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of his will in all wisdom and spiritual understanding;

KNOWLEDGE OF HIS WILL / COLOSSIANS 1:9

Knowing God’s will – His desires and plans based on His character and purposes – results from knowing God Himself and developing a deep personal relationship with Him. Such a relationship grows out of spending consistent time in prayer – listening to and speaking with God – and the study of His Word. Our ability to recognize and understand God’s will comes as we apply His Word to the decisions, attitudes and actions of daily life. Only this kind of knowledge results in true spiritual wisdom and understanding that guides and transforms our hearts and lives as God desires (Colossians 1:9-11; Philippians 1:9)

FAITHFUL BROTHERS AT COLOSSE / COLOSSIANS 1:2

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Colossians 1:2

To the saints and faithful brethren in Christ which are at Colosse: Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

FAITHFUL BROTHERS AT COLOSSE / COLOSSIANS 1:2

Paul wrote to the Colossians because false teachers were coming in among the believers in the church there and proclaiming that devotion to Jesus Christ and loyalty to the teachings of Christ’s apostles (Acts 14:4; 2:42) were not enough for a true Christian’s faith and spiritual salvation. This false teaching mixed human “philosophy and “tradition” with the gospel (Colossians 2:8) – the true message of Christ – and called for the worship of angels as mediators between God and humans (Colossians 2:18). These imposters (pretenders who presented themselves as true Christians) also demanded a strict obedience to certain Jewish religious requirements (Colossians 2:16, 21-23). They justified their misguided rulers by claiming to have received special revelation through visions (Colossians 2:18).

  1. The same basic philosophy behind these errors appears today in the teaching that Jesus Christ and the original message of the New Testament are not completely adequate to meet our spiritual needs (2 Peter 1:3).
  2. Paul speaks out boldly against this heresy (false teaching that contradicts the true and proven basis of faith as revealed in the Bible). He does so by showing that Christ is not only our personal Savior (the One who forgives sins and rescues us from spiritual death), but also the head of the church and Lord ( the supreme authority) of the universe and all creation. For this reason, Jesus Chist (and His power in our lives) – not human efforts, ideas or wisdom – rescues us from sin’s power, puts us in a right relationship with God and saves us eternally. We do not need any other mediator – human or spiritual – to go between us and God. We may approach Him directly. 
  3. Being a believer means showing true faith in Christ and His message by actively yielding the guidance and keeping of our lives to Him, loving Him, obeying Him and living by His purpose. We must never add anything to the gospel – the “good news” and true message of Christ – nor support any other experience, teaching or philosophy that is offered in its place.

RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY / EXODUS 16:30

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Exodus 16:30

So the people rested on the seventh day.

RESTED ON THE SEVENTH DAY / EXODUS 16:30

God’s instructions for the seventh day (Exodus 16:22-30) emphasized that His people were to follow the example He set on the seventh day of creation (Genesis 2:1-4). God knew that if His people failed to observe the Sabbath, they would become exhausted physically and spiritually because of all the activities and concerns of life. The seventh, or Sabbath, day of rest was a means of keeping them from losing sight of spiritual things and then neglecting them. They were to remember that God considered their spiritual lives to be most important (Matthew 12:1; Luke 6:2-10).

EACH MORNING / EXODUS 16:21

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Exodus 16:21

 And they gathered it every morning, every man according to his eating: and when the sun waxed hot, it melted.

EACH MORNING / EXODUS 16:21

God gave orders to gather only enough manna for each day. Gathering more than they needed would show that they did not believe God would provide again the next day. For this reason, anything beyond what they used during the day would spoil. God was teaching the people that their daily existence depended completely on His gift (Matthew 6:11).

BREAD FROM HEAVEN – IN THIS WAY I WILL TEST THEM / EXODUS 16:4

START YOUR DAY RIGHT DAILY DEVOTION

(KJV) Exodus 16:4

Then said the Lord unto Moses, Behold, I will rain bread from heaven for you; and the people shall go out and gather a certain rate every day, that I may prove them, whether they will walk in my law, or no.

BREAD FROM HEAVEN – IN THIS WAY I WILL TEST THEM / EXODUS 16:4

BREAD FROM HEAVEN

This “bread from heaven” is called “manna” (Exodus 16:15). It was heavenly food miraculously sent among the people each day for the full forty years that they wandered through the wilderness. God sent the manna each morning. The people simply had to collect what they needed. The white substance looked like thin flakes of frost, and it tasted like honey (Exodus 16:14, 31; Numbers 11:9). The supply of manna stopped coming when the Israelites entered the promised land. At that point, other foods became available (Joshua 5:12). Manna was a prophetic symbol of Jesus Christ, “the true bread from heaven” (John 6:32; Revelation 2:17), who gives eternal life (John 6:33, 51, 58).

IN THIS WAY I WILL TEST THEM

The people received specific instructions about the manna. This was God’s test of their faith and obedience (Deuteronomy 8:2-3). In the same way, God sometimes directs our circumstances in ways that test our faith and loyalty to Him.
