Technical Difficulties
Spotify for Podcasters has changed their platform. It is no longer a seamless application. Fortunately I was able to get this message download it via a file. If I figure out how to make new episodes you’ll see them posted. Otherwise thank you for listening and I’ll just see how the Lord leads. Using this platform has been helping me dig into the word of God, and I just share what I find. Keep digging on your own. The book of Colossians ends with tons of examples of church relationships.: husbands, wives, children, parents, masters, slaves, etc. In chapter 4, Paul mentions about a dozen groups or individuals that he fellowships with even from prison. This simply isn’t small talk this is Paul’s enjoyment of the new man, even from prison. Get ready, watch, we found pursuing Christ every day and in everything in these last days.

Colossians: The Atmosphere of the One New Man (3:10-15)
Setting our affection on the things above means this is where the Christ has preeminence over all things.This is the atmosphere of the throne- Christ all and in all. We know the world below demands we live according to its atmosphere: religion, human government, politics, education, culture, philosophy, sports, etc. all set a tone that is not according to Christ who is above. There is , however, an atmosphere that we are to enjoy on earth and is called the One New Man, which is not just an alternative to the worlds atmosphere, but rather the unveiling of the mystery hidden through all the previous ages. The New man touches His purpose and desire from eternity past and His goal for eternity future on the earth. The New Man has a visible expression and a testimony of Jesus on the earth. It is an atmosphere where it is impossible for individuality or distinctions to prevail or have a place because Christ is all and in all! (vs.11). Verses 12-15 describe the visible, touchable, tangible atmosphere of this New Man. It is forgiving, loving ,peaceful etc . This is an atmosphere where Christs life is flowing through the saints to all the members. This New Man brings the things above down to the world below. The world sees this atmosphere where Christ flows as a place on earth that sets the tone for Gods purpose and becomes a place that establishes dominion over the worlds atmosphere of religion, human government, politics, education, culture, philosophy, sports, etc. The New Man breathes His disposition, offers His forgiveness, demonstrates His love and arbitrates His peace (12-15). The old man cannot live in this atmosphere because It is cannot thrive. The flesh is exposed and self is terminated. This New Man atmosphere is what God is longing for on the earth today where you live.

Colossians: The Realization of the New Man (3:10-11)
And have put on the new man, which is being renewed unto full knowledge according to the image of Him who created him, Where there cannot be Greek and Jew, circumcision and uncircumcision, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free man, but Christ is all and in all." (Colossians 3:10-11) A life that is set on the things above, is receiving that life for a particular purpose. That purpose is the creation of the new man. We cannot think of the new man as only Christ in you. It is Christ in as the hope of glory, the desire of His expression. Praise the Lord Christ is in you, but you and Jesus do not make up the new man. The new man has two parts, quite simply the head and the body. The head we know is Christ and the body is the expression Christ through the many members. You see ? This is the hope of His glory. This is why Paul told the believers to cling to the Head (2:19) because this evaporated all of the things that are below, the false, teaching, the culture, the world, the philosophy, the law, the man made ordinances and the self. Our occupation in our daily life and in everything is to hold the head. This may seem like the goal of Christians as individuals, but it is not. The goal is for the head to fill you up as a member of the body and then for you to richly supply the saints with His Life. This supply of His life knits us all together, we all become connective tissue that stimulates the growth of the rest of the body. This is what it means to grow with the growth of God." (Colossians 2:19)This growth is the expression of His glory. This means the new man emerges as all the members are receiving life supply from the throne or the Head. Each member then allows his life to flow through them as a means of supplying this rich life of Christ to the rest of the body. This is how the new man is formed. The Christian life therefore is constantly for the production of the new man wherever you live. A Christian cannot isolate himself from other believers. A Christian cannot grow apart from other believers. We may have extenuating circumstances, like Paul, who was in prison, but you see, in chapter 4, that he did everything he could to Supply and be supplied by other members of the body. In conclusion, the church is where there cannot be a bunch of distinctive Christians. It’s a place! Christ has a location! And it’s in his body where there cannot be a Jew and a Greek, cultured and uncultured, etc. etc. your distinction cannot exist simultaneously in the body. Your self cannot exist here. What is here in the church then? It’s a place where Christ is all and in all. This little phrase, Christ, all, and in all, is a summation of chapter 1, where Christ is presented as the one who is in all things above all things accomplishes all things, is holding all things together, and in all things he is having the preeminence. Where on the Earth can we see this kind of Christ? Only among the saints who have this revelation of the New Man. Get to know the new man.
