Hie Supremacy of Jesus Christ Mildred Peppers Sunday School Lesson Devotional Reading: John 1: 1-18 Lesson Scripture. Colossians 1: 15-20 Lesson Aims: To explain Jesus' supremacy, to accept that the Good News doesn't need any additions, and to appreciate our redemption through Jesus alone. Background: At one time in history, Colosse (Colossae) was an important city along the east-west trade route from the east to the Aegean Sea. By the first century AD, its importance had diminished to sim ply a market town. Paul on his third mis sionary joumey spent three years in Gphesus, converting a few Jews and many Gentiles. This was significant because many of those converts went to other places to share the Word. Epaphras (EP uh e . . . . e .1 i ? ? . /-i rrassj was one 01 mem wno journeyea 10 uoiosse ana started me church there (1:7-8). This early church, like the others, faced the rise of false doctrines. When these false teachings bombarded this church, Epaphras sought Paul's help. He visited the apostle (still under house arrest) in Rome. That visit was the catalyst for the epistle. The false teachings were a mixture of Legalism and Gnosticism. Both teachings "added other tenets" to the Good News. Jews spread the idea that certain laws from the Mosaic Law had to be followed or the believers couldn't have a solid relation ship with God. The Gnostics' ideology was a little more complex. Their premise was some "secret knowledge" was needed along ? I with the notion that the spirit was good while the physical was evil. Simply put, God was spirit and Jesus was human, therefore Jesus could not be the son of God because He was human. This doctrine became more organized during the second century. Paul's letter refutes both claims! Lesson: The traditional greeting is given as Paul declares their (his and Timothy's) blessings for understanding and wisdom from God. Growth in knowledge is understanding God's will for them. Wisdom, the practical application of knowledge, is seen in a believ er's daily life. Paul's discourse can be divided into three parts. Paul asserts that Jesus is the visible image of the invisible God. Humans have this need "to see." There are many instances in Scripture where people ask "to see." They believe seeing is believing. Read jonn 14: o-v. jesus is aivine ana numan at the same time! Because God is Spirit, Jesus gives humanity the oppor tunity to see the invisible God and believe. Jesus is the firstborn over all creation. This is not order but rank. This means that He was present at creation not that He was created first. The creation cannot be greater than the Creator. "He made the universe and maintains its order through grace and mercy" (David C. Cook's Echoes Adult Teacher Commentary). Jesus alone is superior to creation! Secondly, Paul declares that Jesus is the Head of His Body, the church. He alone reconciled humanity to God. Obeying the Law and having secret knowledge couldn't do it. The See Pepper* on B5 i 1 )
