“Until He Comes: Faith, Love, Hope and Grace”- Colossians 1:3-8 For what is Christopher Columbus best known? Benedict Arnold? Paul Revere? Mother Theresa? Judas? Doug Bruce: Haiti; Larry Knowles: wordsmith; Pastor Tom: Yankees. For what are you known? Colossian Christians were known for faith, love and hope. Colossians 1:3-8 2012 Theme: “Until He Comes” - looking for Jesus to come and living according to that perspective. Until Jesus comes, we should be known for the right things. What motivated Paul to pray for these Colossians? 1)He was an apostle, 2)He was a concerned brother - “Colossian Heresy”, 3)He was thankful to God for the Colossians - faith, love & hope. I)Their faith in Christ Jesus Faith is “the conviction of the truth about anything; belief.” (Strg’s) In what is your faith? Government? Goodness of man? Karma? Colossians Christians - faith in the Lord Jesus Christ They believed “the word of truth, the gospel” - vs. 5b Gospel - “good news/tidings, specifically good tidings of the kingdom of God & of Jesus Christ. They “understood the grace of God” - vs6; Ephesians 2:8-9 The gospel is still bearing fruit throughout the world - India, Africa, China, S. America, etc. II)Their love for all the saints - Important connection. Faith in Christ leads to love for Him and for all those who are His - Saints - holy ones, set apart ones. John 13:34-35 Vs8 tells us that this love is the work of the Holy Spirit w/in us. III)The hope laid up for them in heaven. All three are intertwined. Hope bolsters our faith & increases our love. Hope - the expectation of Christ’s return, eternal life w/Him, & unhindered fellowship with our God. Until Jesus comes, we should hold fast to our faith, give way to the Spirit who will love thru us, & live in the hope laid up for us.
