passage from Colossians 1, in my estimation, is one of the most
powerful passages in Scripture. The believers from Colosse were
tempted to depart from the high standards of the “One New Man”
set forth in Paul's letter to the Ephesians. Many consider this to be
basic, and the fulcrum to full understanding of the nature of the
church from God's perspective, plus the underlying empowerment coming
to the church from the Feast of Pentecost. Dr. J. Sidlow Baxter saw
Ephesians from this standpoint, and Colossians as the Holy Spirit's
corrective through Paul - to bring them back to the moorings of the
teaching in Ephesians. Gnosticism was one of the main errors in
teaching coming to Colosse to tempt them to depart doctrinally from
the standards set in this letter to the church of “Ephesus”.
Sadly though, even Ephesus had to be rebuked by Jesus in the book of
Revelation, for having departed from their first love.</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">Paul's
letter to Philippi was to bring them back to the standard of Ephesus,
because of their departure in the realm of the Spirit. To hold
steadily in Christ as Head of the Church - </span></span><u><span style="">all</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
City Churches - is to be able to withstand all types of the
enemy's attacks. Christ is </span></span><u><span style="">Pre-eminent</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">!
He deserves to have our “personal, passionate devotion” at all
times and in all circumstances. Men like George Muller, H. A. Baker,
Rees Howells, Oswald Chamber and Brother Yun of China - set forth for
us wonderful examples in this intimate relationship!</span></span></p>

based upon “His finished Work” on Calvary. Indeed we should “feed
on the merits of Calvary.” This latter phrase was given to me in
the Spirit many years ago. I sing it regularly - “I feed on the
merits of Calvary - through You - Christ Jesus my Lord!”</span></span></p>

<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;" align="left"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">Look
now at Colossians 1:12-15 and what our Worthy Lord has accomplished
for us! - He </span></span><u><span style="">fitted</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
us to become partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light; He
</span></span><u><span style="">delivered</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
us from the powers of darkness: and God </span></span><u><span style="">translated
us</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
into the kingdom of the Son of His love; And what do we learn of
Jesus as a result of this act of the Father? We have the “</span></span><u><span style="">redemption</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">”
- the forgiveness of sins! No other founder of </span></span><u><span style="">any</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
religion can offer an equality here! And Jesus, the One who
accomplished this - is “the invisible God's image” - the
“firstborn of all creation.” We are born again sons of God, but
by adoption; while </span></span><u><span style="">Jesus</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
is the </span></span><u><span style="">Firstborn</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
of all creation. No wonder Satan wanted to destroy Him. </span></span><u><span style="">But</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
- by contriving His death on Calvary - he made the greatest mistake
of his career. For </span></span><u><span style="">Jesus</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
had </span></span><u><span style="">no sin</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">,
and death could not hold Him! So on the 3</span></span><sup><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">rd</span></span></sup><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">
day God </span></span><u><span style="">raised Him
from the dead</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">.
Satan wounded His heel at Calvary, but Jesus </span></span><u><span style="">crushed
Satan's head</span></u><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">!
Satan's power is decidedly limited from that day on! Read the book
of Revelation to see his continual falls, until the Lake of Fire
eternally receives him!</span></span></p>

As we learn to imbibe these truths, we will find them transforming!
As we gaze on Him who died for us, but is now resurrected, ascended
and seated at God's right hand on His Throne in heaven - we become
transformed from glory to glory, even by the Presence of our Lord! -
