Because They Don’t Know Yet
The Mystery of God
(Colossians 1:24-29)
Ⅰ. Key Idea
False teachers came to church in Colossae and confused Colossians. Their teaching was that people must learn the mystery they possessed in order to be saved. Apostle Paul argued against them that the mystery for salvation was already given and that is Christ Himself dwelling in the hearts of believers. This understanding is a great blessing. We should know that we have the mystery of the Creator. Jesus is our Savior and He is the mystery of God. Let us boldly proclaim this truth!
II. Small Group Discussions
1. Have you tried to find the hidden treasure when young?
2. Is the Pauls goal realized in your life? Are you yet on the way? How far have you come since you began?
(cf. 1:28)
3. Was there a time you were disturbed by some false teaching?A which led you away from following Jesus? What was the teaching like? How is Paul’s message meaningful to you today? (cf.1:27)
4. How is Paul’s suffering the continuation of Jesus? Why did Paul rejoice over the suffering? (cf. 1:24?A 2 Cor 12:9-10)
5. On 2:3?A 4 Paul contrasts the false teaching against true wisdom. What does Paul say about the false teaching brought in?
