4. Kapitel 3 Bliv det I allerede
er!
-Kig op!
-Skil jer af med liget!
-Skift garderoben ud!
5. Kig op!
3:1-4
Når I nu er oprejst med Kristus, så søg det, som
er i himlen, dér hvor Kristus sidder ved Guds
højre hånd. Tænk på det, som er i himlen, og
ikke på det jordiske. I er jo døde, og jeres liv er
skjult med Kristus i Gud. Når Kristus, jeres liv,
bliver åbenbaret, da skal også I blive åbenbaret
sammen med ham i herlighed.
-Søg himmelske værdier
-Løft hovedet
-Få perspektiv på dit liv
-Se fremad
-FAT -SØG -TÆNK
6. Skil jer af
med liget!
3:5-8
Så lad da det jordiske i jer dø: utugt, urenhed,
lidenskaber og onde lyster, og griskhed, for det er
afgudsdyrkelse. Det nedkalder Guds vrede over
ulydighedens børn. Den slags hengav også I jer
til, dengang I levede sådan. Men nu skal også I
aflægge det alt sammen: vrede, hidsighed,
ondskab, spot og skamløs snak i jeres mund.
-Styrer livet dig eller
styrer Gud livet?
-Det er fortid
-Det er dødvægt
7. Skift
garderoben ud!
3:9-14
Lyv ikke for hinanden, for I har aflagt det gamle menneske
med dets gerninger og iført jer det nye, som fornyes i sin
skabers billede til at have erkendelse. Her kommer det ikke
an på at være græker og jøde, omskåret og uomskåret,
barbar, skyte, træl, fri, men Kristus er alt og i alle. Ifør jer da,
som Guds udvalgte, hellige og elskede, inderlig
barmhjertighed, godhed, ydmyghed, mildhed, tålmodighed.
Bær over med hinanden og tilgiv hinanden, hvis den ene har
noget at bebrejde den anden. Som Herren tilgav jer, skal I
også gøre. Men over alt dette skal I iføre jer kærligheden,
som er fuldkommenhedens bånd.
-”Complete makeover”
-Opdages gradvist
-Det gamle tøj passer ikke
-One-size fits all
-Valgt af Gud
-Koncentrer dig om din egen
makeover!
-Kærligheden går til alt
8. -Kig op!
-Skil jer af med liget!
-Skift garderoben ud!
Bliv det I allerede er!
Editor's Notes
Det i er ”i Kristus” skal I også være ”i Kolossæ”
Som i Himlen…
Believe – behave
Position – practice
We in Christ – Christ in us
Hvordan vi står i himlen – hvordan vi går på jorden
Læg mærke til - Fyldt med kontraster
Død – liv
Skjult – åbenbaret
Aflægge – iføre
Kap 2:
Kristus er fuld tilstrækkelig!
Pas på med:
Tom filosofi
Religiøs legalisme
Menneskelige discipliner
Kap 3:
I Kolossæ…
Bliv det I allerede er! (og vi er og har fået det hele jo – Kristus var fuldt tilstrækkeligt…)
P. bruger tre billeder vævet lidt ind i hinanden her:
-Kig op!
-Skil jer af med liget!
-Skift garderoben ud!
1 Nu hvor I ligesom Kristus er blevet oprejst til et nyt liv, skal I lægge vægt på de værdier, som kommer ovenfra, hvor Kristus sidder på tronen ved Guds højre hånd. 2 Læg vægt på den himmelske verdens værdier, ikke de jordiske. 3 Jeres gamle liv er forbi, og jeres kommende liv ligger gemt hos Gud, hvor Kristus er. 4 Når Kristus bliver åbenbaret i sin herlighed, vil jeres kommende liv blive synligt, og I vil opnå den samme herlighed som Kristus har.
--
So if you're serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides. 2 Don't shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ - that's where the action is. See things from his perspective. 3 Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life - even though invisible to spectators - is with Christ in God. He is your life. 4 When Christ (your real life, remember) shows up again on this earth, you'll show up, too - the real you, the glorious you. Meanwhile, be content with obscurity, like Christ.

Når nu I er (afgjort) oprejst MED (intim uigenkaldelig forbindelse – specifikt ord [sun] ikke [meta]) Kristus så .. Søg (ikke lede, men længes (kraftigt) efter og bliv ved med at fokusere på) himmelske værdier (HVDK)
Løft hovedet – historien om manden som engang fandt en $5-seddel og besluttede sig for altid at kigge ned. Han fandt med tiden 29.516 knapper, 54.172 tegnestifter, 12 cents, en dårlig ryg og en elendig indstilling. Så ingen sollys og stjerner, smil fra venner, blå himmel. Se på den virkelige verden –
Få perspektiv på dit liv – han er skatten (alle visdommens og kundskabens – fuldt tilstrækkeligt) Hvor din skat er, vil dit hjerte være. Aktiekurser. Vi jager skygger (brug fysiske billeder) og tænker det er attraktivt, men det mætter ikke, tilfredsstiller ikke. Hvad er rigdom hvis du har en skat i himlen, ære hvis du allerede sidder på en trone i himlen, nydelse hvis du har hans tilstedeværelse med fuld tilfredsstillelse, magt hvis du koblet på den almægtige eller berømmelse hvis du har Guds godkendelse/accept? ”Kristus jeres liv!!!” 1 Joh 5:12 den der har sønnen har livet (ikke askese, kun hovedet i himlen, har han jo lige advaret imod. Moody: nogen er så himmelvendte at de ikke er noget værd på jorden)
Se fremad – der kommer en dag hvor det hele bliver synligt og åbenbaret (afkodet) tre muligheder: 1. skjult for verden satan,sikkerhed. 2. sammen med kristus, identitet. 3. our secret life, encrypted so only we, christians understand (kryperet [krypto], som modstandernes skrifter (apokryfer), hemmelige/skjulte. Men det er ikke jeres skrifter, men jer selv der er krypteret (koden er Kristus)
FAT det (vide hvad der er deroppe, hvad ud har fået, hvad din position er), SØG det, TÆNK (fokuser konstant, brug hele jeres forstand og tænkning, sæt den i den retning) på det, som en forelsket –Hvordan helt praktisk?

-- v2
the things above, keep on setting your mind upon
Phroneo refers to the basic orientation, bent, and thought patterns of the mind, rather than to the intellect per se, and thus it refers more to one's inner impulse or disposition, while keep seeking (Col 3:1) marks a practical pursuit or striving after. Both are to be upward focused. Indeed, a sure safeguard to impede seeking the things below, is a continual setting of our mind upon the things above!
There is an advance of expression from that in verse 1. Believers are to do more than seek the things above."
"D. L. Moody used to scold Christians for being "so heavenly minded they were no earthly good,"
Christians have a dual citizenship—on earth and in heaven—and our citizenship in heaven ought to make us better people here on earth
The spiritually minded believer is not attracted by the "things" of this world. He makes his decisions on the basis of eternal values and not the passing fads of society.
Do you remember how you felt when you first fell in love with that person of your dreams? Your thoughts continually focused on that one who made your heart flutter. When you had free time your thoughts would drift in their direction. When you lay in bed at night you thought about them as you fell asleep. You'd spend hours together and the first thing you did when you got home was call them and talk until the wee hours of the morning
Matt 6:21 hvor din skat er der vil dit hjerte være
I ham er alle visdommens og kundskabens skatte skjult
Hvis ikke du har aktier læser du ikke aktiekurser! Det er ikke interessant.
Jon Courson - For one week, I had a crush on Denise Fuller and wanted to take her to our church youth group’s spring banquet. In order to pay for it, however, I had to sell my one share of American Motors stock which I had bought for twelve bucks. Now, I was really into my one share of stock—so much so that, although I was a big San Francisco Giants fan, before I checked out the box scores to see how Mays, Cepeda, and McCovey were doing each day, I turned to the stock page to check on American Motors’ progress. But when this banquet came up, I sold my one share of stock. And guess what. Once I sold my share, I never turned to the stock page again. I just lost interest.
Pointer fra "det er personligt"

Whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things" (Phil. 4:8)
Things above: — It is implied in this exhortation that the things above are
I. KNOWN TO US. We may love the unseen, not the unknown. We know them through the Scriptures.
II. OURS. We may not set our hearts on what is not ours. But “all things are ours.”
III. IF WE DO NOT SET OUR AFFECTIONS UPON THEM WE SHALL ON THINGS BELOW.Empty man’s heart cannot be.
Do not store up (present imperative plus a negative = command to stop doing this!) for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. (Matthew 6:19)
Then He said to them, “Beware (present imperative = command to continually carry out the function of a sentinel at the guard post!), and be on your guard against every form of greed; for not even when one has an abundance does his life consist of his possessions.” (Luke 12:15)
Instruct (present imperative = command to continually pass this on as one would strict orders from a commander to his soldiers in the field, his commands being such as to maximize the chances of victory and minimize the chances of defeat or death for his troops) those who are rich in this present world not to be conceited or to fix their hope on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly supplies us with all things to enjoy. (1Ti 6:17)
Do not love (present imperative plus a negative = command to stop loving the world! cp Jas 4:4-note) the world nor the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. (1Jn 2:15-note)
In context, the things “on the earth” are those things mentioned in the preceding chapter, which include "the elementary principles of the world" (Col 2:20-note), legalistic decrees such as "Do not handle, do not taste, do not touch!… things destined to perish" (Col 2:21, 22-note), as well as ascetic practices that have "the appearance of wisdom in self-made religion and self-abasement and severe treatment of the body." (Col 2:23-note).
Note also that Paul was not advocating an other worldly asceticism. He had just condemned that approach to spirituality (Col 2:20-23). He was saying that life in this world will be better if it is lived by a power beyond this world, the indwelling power of the resurrected, ascended, glorified Christ.
What can wealth achieve for him who has treasure laid up in heaven? Or honour for him who is already enthroned in the heavenly places? Or pleasure for him who revels in “newness of life”? Or power for him who is endowed with a moral omnipotence? Or fame for him who enjoys the approval of God?

Rob Morgan commenting on Colossians 3:1-4 offers an interesting sermon title "The Best Christians are Dead Christians" noting that in Colossians 3:1-note Dead People Have a New Master, Colossians 3:2-note Dead People Have New Values, Colossians 3:3-note Dead People Have a New Perspective, and Colossians 3:4-note Dead People Have a New Future. (Morgan, R. J. Nelson's Annual Preacher's Sourcebook: 2002 Nashville: Thomas Nelson Publishers) jeres liv er krypteret (som moses, som jesus da de vil stene ham) Paul wrote that believers can have their lives hidden with Christ in God in the sense that they do not have to conform to the carnality of this present world (Colossians 3:3). John described the futile efforts of men to hide from the face and wrath of God when the Day of the Lord comes (Revelation 6:15,16). The contrast is obvious: Man can be hidden “safely” in God now, or he can try unsuccessfully to hide from God then. Barclay - There may well be a word play here (with krupto) which a Greek would recognize at once. The false teachers called their books of so-called wisdom apokruphoi (Greek 614), the books that were hidden from all except from those who were initiated. Now the word which Paul uses to say that our lives are hidden with Christ in God is part of the verb apokruptein (Greek 613), from which the adjective apokruphos (Greek 614) comes. Undoubtedly the one word would suggest the other. It is as if Paul said, "For you the treasures of wisdom are hidden in your secret books; for us Christ is the treasury of wisdom and we are hidden in him." tre muligheder skjult for verden satan,sikkerhed sammen med kristus, identited our secret life, encrypted so only we, christians understand
-- v4 kristus jeres liv! det krypterede skal afkodes, åbenbares, gøres let læseligt for alle Paul's marvelously rich expression indicates, that Christ is the source of our life. "You hath He quickened who were dead in trespasses and sins." That same voice which brought Lazarus out of the tomb (Jn 11:43) raised us to newness of life (Ro 6:4, 11-see notes Ro 6:4,11). He is now the Substance of our spiritual life. It is by His life that we live; He is in us, the hope of glory (Col 1:27-note), the spring of our actions, the central thought which moves every other thought. Christ is the Sustenance of our life. Life with Christ is an endless hope, Without Him a hopeless end.
5 Alt det i jeres gamle liv, som hører denne verden til, skal I derfor overgive til døden: seksuel synd, urene tanker, skammelige lidenskaber og ondt begær, samt pengegriskhed, som er en form for afgudsdyrkelse. 6 Gud vil straffe de ulydige mennesker, der lever sådan. 7 I levede også engang i ulydighed mod Gud, 8 men nu skal I lægge al den slags fra jer. Undgå vredesudbrud, hidsighed, sjofelheder, samt ondskabsfulde og hånlige ord.

And that means killing off everything connected with that way of death: sexual promiscuity, impurity, lust, doing whatever you feel like whenever you feel like it, and grabbing whatever attracts your fancy. That's a life shaped by things and feelings instead of by God. 6 It's because of this kind of thing that God is about to explode in anger. 7 It wasn't long ago that you were doing all that stuff and not knowing any better. 8 But you know better now, so make sure it's all gone for good: bad temper, irritability, meanness, profanity, dirty talk.

Har lige sagt ”I er jo døde”
Den bedste kristen er en død kristen
Styrer livet dig eller styrer Gud livet? Viljesbeslutning – lad det dø, beslutsomt og vigtigt/haster (aorist) DIN beslutning sammen med HANS kraft. Mangel på selvkontrol over det seksuelle område/begær og på det sociale område (omgangen med andre mennesker)
Utugt – seksuel synd, usvævenhed, inkl utroskab
Urenhed – urene tanker,
Lidenskaber – skammelige lidenskaber, begær
Onde lyster – ondt begær, doing whatever you feel like whenever you feel like
Griskhed – pengegriskhed, længsel efter at have mere, grabbing whatever you fancy
Det er afgudsdyrkelse – ting og følelser/impulser i centrum/styrer dig i stedet for Gud, erstatter der usynlige med det synlige
Vrede, vredesudbrud, bad temper, følelse af had
Hidsighed, irritability
Ondskab, sjofelheder, meaness, beslutning om at gøre ondt mod andre
Spot, ondskabsfulde ord, profanity, blasfemi, tale ondt/falskt/skadende
Skamløs snak, hånlige ord, dirty talk, beskidt snak
Det er fortid –
Det er dødvægt – det skal ikke leve i den nye, virkelige verden

The plain meaning of this charge (to mortify) is to reduce to the state of death or like death; a state helpless, inoperative. The Christian, in the power of his hidden life in Christ, is thus to deal with his sins; entirely to renounce the thought of compromise or toleration, and to apply to them the might counter-agent of his union with his Head. The verb is in the aorist tense; decisive and critical action is in view. The believer, reminded of his resources and of the will of God, is now, with full purpose, to "give to death" (Conybeare) all his sins, and to carry that purpose out with critical decision at each moment of temptation in the power of his true (new) life. No assertions of an attained "sinless perfection" are warranted by such a word. The following context is enough to show that Paul views his converts as all along morally imperfect. But that side of truth is not in view here; the Christian is called here to an unreserved decision of will (Ed: Man's responsibility) and to a full use of Christ's power (Ed: God's sovereignty). In the closely parallel words, Ro 8:13 (see notes), the verb (another verb thanatoo [word study]) is in the present tense, indicating the need of continuous action after however critical a decision Slay utterly may express its force. As discussed earlier the form of the verb (aorist imperative) makes it clear that the action is to be undertaken decisively and with a sense of urgency. Both the meaning of the verb and the force of the tense suggest a vigorous, painful act of personal determination People talk a lot about the importance of Self Control – Paul chooses to pick on 2 key topics where control is the primary issue: Sexual Sins – How we respond to the temptation to lust instead of love. Social Sins – How we channel our emotions and use our tongue in terms of our relationships with others in the body of Christ as well as outside the church But it is not Self Control that we are after – It is the Spirit’s control as we live out our Union with Christ Ephesians shows that pleonexia is not restricted to monetary “greed”; it also suggests an “insatiable” appetite for other things (Ephesians 4:19 suggests a more sexual understanding; cf. Ephesians 5:3). The Colossians text (3:5) that lists pleonexia along with other sins to be put to death may also—but not necessarily—have sexual nuances (cf. 2 Peter 2:14). Covetousness (with regard to possessions) is probably preferred since Paul somewhat emphasized pleonexia and isolated it to a degree from the rest of the list. Idolatry (1495) (eidololatreia [word study] from eidolon = idol, image + latreía = service, worship) describes an extreme attachment or devotion to something or someone and in the spiritual realm is anything or anyone that comes between you and God. Barclay: So, then, put to death these parts of you which are earthly-fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, the desire to get more than you ought—for this is idol worship
Lyv ikke for hinanden. I har jo aflagt den gamle livsstil med alle dens onde gerninger, 10 og I har iført jer det nye liv, som vokser og fornyes i takt med jeres forståelse af Gud, så I kommer til at ligne ham mere og mere. 11 Det har ikke noget at sige, om man er græker eller jøde, omskåret eller uomskåret, fremmed eller udlænding, slave eller fri. Nu er det Kristus, det drejer sig om. Han er grundlaget for alle ting, og han virker i og gennem os alle. 12 Som Guds udvalgte, elskede og hellige børn skal I iklæde jer det liv, han gav jer. Vær barmhjertige, venlige, ydmyge, imødekommende og tålmodige. 13 Bær over med hinanden og tilgiv hinanden, så snart der er noget at tilgive. Som Herren tilgav jer, skal I også tilgive hinanden. 14 Frem for alt skal jeres liv være præget af kærlighed, som er det bedste middel til at knytte os sammen.

Don't lie to one another. You're done with that old life. It's like a filthy set of ill-fitting clothes you've stripped off and put in the fire. 10 Now you're dressed in a new wardrobe. Every item of your new way of life is custom-made by the Creator, with his label on it. All the old fashions are now obsolete. 11 Words like Jewish and non-Jewish, religious and irreligious, insider and outsider, uncivilized and uncouth, slave and free, mean nothing. From now on everyone is defined by Christ, everyone is included in Christ. 12 So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline. 13 Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you. 14 And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It's your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.

Du har fået et ”Complete makeover” – ny krop (I sin skabers billede)
Opdages gradvist – “I har iført jer det nye liv, som vokser og fornyes i takt med jeres forståelse af Gud, så I kommer til at ligne ham mere og mere” Hov, her er jeg også forandret/har brug for nyt tøj
Det gamle tøj passer ikke (længere) – det er beskidt, ikke moderne (passer ind), og passer dig ikke længere
One-size fits all – uanset hvem vi er, ingen fordel, skyte var den laveste barbar (hestefolk, havde invaderet Israel på Josias tid og var yderst grusomme, blå øjne, blondt eller rødt hår), barbar var en ignorant (uvidende om græsk kultur og sprog. Deres sprog lød I grækernes øre som bar-bar) Kristus er ALT, i ALLE
Valgt af Gud – din “personal shopper” og ikke bare det, men det er skræddersyet og givet af Ham (igen hvad I er (udvalgte, hellige og elskede – unikt kristent) gør hvad I kan blive (iføre jer))
Involdsbarmhjertighed – I stand til at mærke en andens mindset elendighed
Godhed – I handling
Ydmyghed – overfor Gud, afhængighed, ikke I egen kraft
Mildhed – sagte modig, styrke under control, ikke selvhævdende
Tålmodighed
Koncentrer dig om din egen makeover - Ifør jer selv det her og bær over med de andre!
Bær over, aprospos, tålmodig, irritation, provocation, er der nogen DU skal bære over med?
Tilgiv hinanden, skridtet længere end at bære over, når de har gjort dig uret
SOM Herren tilgav, forbilledet
Kærligheden går til alt – det stykke tøj der går til alt og får alt det andet til at “shine” – hav altid den på
