We know from the New Testament that our bodies are temples of the Lord. We, too, are divided into three parts—spirit, soul, and body (1 Thess. 5:23). God's presence through His Holy Spirit dwells in the innermost part of our being—our spirit. As we work our way through the tabernacle, we will discover how each part not only points to a heavenly reality, but also depicts and points to Christ. "Christ is the perfect Tabernacle.

Mr, Truman was jubilant. President Truman. True man; what a strange name, come to think of it. We refer to Jesus Christ as true God and true Man. Truman is a true man of his time in that he was jubilant. He was not a son of God, brother of Christ, brother of the Japanese, jubilating as he did. He went from table to table on the cruiser which was bringing him home from the Big Three conference, telling the great news; "jubilant" the newspapers said. Jubilate Deo. We have killed 318,000 Japanese.

Christ who is your life,' (Col 3:4): This identification reflects the relentless Christological focus of Colossians.

baptism puts us in contact with the death of Christ (vv. 3–4); (2) because we share in Christ's death, we also will share in his resurrection (vv. 5, 8–10); (3) sharing in Christ's death means freedom from sin (vv. 6–7).

But more important here is the rhetorical point that they make: Philemon is to respond to Paul because he, Paul, and Onesimus are all "in the Lord/Christ."1365 The fellowship that is created among those who have faith in Christ (v. 6) brings with it obligations to one another.

And, at the risk of generalizing unduly, we might suggest that here as well is the point of contact for the application of the message of Colossians to a wide variety of historical and contemporary teachings. Any teaching that questions the sufficiency of Christ — not only for "initial" salvation but also for spiritual growth and ultimate salvation from judgment — falls under the massive christological critique of Colossians.

The reign of Christ has been established. The nations who object to this settlement trouble the decrees of God about as much as dogs barking at the moon trouble the moon.

A husband can no more blame his wife for the state of their marriage than a thief can blame his hands. As Christ assumed responsibility for things He didn't do, so husbands should be willing to do the same for their wives.

Christ has been seated at God's right hand. This seating indicates four things: He is waiting for his enemies to be made his footstool (vv. 12–13); he has sanctified a certain class of people forever (vv. 10, 14); he has established the New Covenant (vv. 16–17); and he has annihilated sin offerings (v. 18).

Paul is arguing that the nature of the tree has not been changed by the transition from the Levitical administration to the New Covenant. The Root is still Christ. The tree is still Israel—not the nation of Israel, but rather the person of Israel, the Lord Jesus. Christ is our Israel, and Christ is our only Israel. If we abide in Him permanently, we will bear fruit that remains. If we do not abide in Him permanently, we will be removed and burned.

The magistrate must wear Christ's livery, and not the other way around.

if we do not tell our stories faithfully, they will gradually change over time until they become quite unrecognizable. With a story like this—one that has in the minds of many supplanted the story of the Christ child—we have to remember that St. Nicholas probably would have slugged somebody over it.

This covenant with Abraham, confirmed to him in Christ, was a covenant which by its very nature could not be annulled (Gal. 3:17). We can see how God has fulfilled His promise to Abraham; it is by the blood of this everlasting covenant that we as Christians are saved (Heb. 13:20). The covenant made with Abraham is still in force today; this glorious covenant made with Abraham millennia ago is nothing other than the new covenant.
