E24 John Frederick: Col 3
from Bible. Theology. Life. Hosted by Trinity College Queensland
Sometimes two people can be viewing the exact same scene, or reading the exact same text and end up coming away with completely different understandings. This can occur as a result of a confusing or difficult biblical text. Or, it can happen when we are unaware of some of the central underlying theological and grammatical elements of a text. In this sermon, Dr John Frederick, Lecturer in New Testament at Trinity College Queensland, shows how Colossians 3 is not aimed at the individual sanctification of believers as salvation solo-projects. Rather, the text invites us to reimagine our own path to holy living as one which is necessarily communal. Colossians 3 is not the story of how I maintain my own, individualistic "personal relationship with Jesus". It is the story of how the many become one in Christ.
