In His Steps
Jesus Christ is God, He is our Savior and He is our main message; therefore (Colossians 2:6-15), let’s walk in His steps. Whether you have received Jesus as your Savior last week, or many years ago, today’s topic can apply equally. From this morning’s text we can gain some practical, roll-up-the-sleeves kind of ideas that can help us all walk more closely in line with the steps of Jesus.
Work on your root system.
Colossians 2:6-7 NIV
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
Keep Christ the main thing.
Colossians 2:8-10 NIV
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.
Live in victory.
Colossians 2:11-15 NIV
In him you were also circumcised with a circumcision not performed by human hands. Your whole self ruled by the flesh was put off when you were circumcised by Christ, having been buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through your faith in the working of God, who raised him from the dead. When you were dead in your sins and in the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made you alive with Christ. He forgave us all our sins, having canceled the charge of our legal indebtedness, which stood against us and condemned us; he has taken it away, nailing it to the cross. And having disarmed the powers and authorities, he made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them by the cross.
