Episode 38: Do, don’t, and why
As we might expect in a letter such as this, filled with pastoral counsel, Paul gives the Colossians a number of dos and don’ts. On the one hand, they should walk in Jesus, be rooted in him, and be grounded in the apostolic gospel. On the other hand, they shouldn’t be carried away by fine-sounding but deceptive alternatives. More importantly, he’s given them the why in his portrait of the absolute supremacy of Christ—and memorably reiterates that theme in Colossians 2:9-10.
