Fill The Lamp

If you are a saved follower of Christ, that statement applies to YOU in 2023. You see my friends and family; this isn’t something you get to choose to do!  This is a mandate to serve the King that is Coming SOON.  No one is insignificant. Our children and grandchildren are to be trained for this event. 

The Trap was set in the Garden of Eden and it still remains set in 2023.  My friends this Trap is governed by the devil himself. The only alternative or way out is with Jesus Christ. He came to set the captives free with the shedding of His Blood 2000 years ago, for you as an individual, if you will follow Him.Adam and Eve’s disobedience got them kicked out of God’s presence.

Like other parables, Matt 25 indicates that there is a distinction between believer and unbelievers, between those who will enter the Kingdom of Heaven and those who will be confined to eternal torment, which may not be apparent until the coming of Christ.  It is at the second coming of Christ when men/women will stand before our Lord, that their true spiritual status is known. 

A good reason for this regard: “Knowing that you also have a Master in heaven.You who are masters of others have a Master yourself and are servants of another Lord. You are not lords of yourselves and are accountable to one above you.

But Paul warns the Colossians, that as called Christians they are to serve as Christ served.  V.25 anyone who does wrong will be paid his dues because He (God) doesn’t play favorites.”  This takes us back to 3:22 we serve “……with sincerity of heart because of your fear of the Lord”

The 5th commandment is the first commandment with promise (Eph. 6:2), this is an explicit promise appropriated to it, namely, “that it shall be well with them, and they shall live long on the earth”. God is saying that loyal children are the most likely to prosper in the world and enjoy long 

Christ is the example!  To "walk" in love, is not merely to talk of it, but to exercise it; and to do all that is done for God, and Christ.  The example to be copied after “is Jesus’ love for the Church”.

What Paul is teaching these Colossians is that Scripture should saturate every aspect of the believer’s life and control every thought, word and deed.  Psalm 119:11; David tells the Lord. “Your word I have hidden in my heart, That I might not sin against You.”  

Paul is expounding, upon how the nature of our existence now is to reflect Christ and His love toward others.   …..Forgive each other. If you have something against someone, forgive him.”  After all, hasn’t Jesus Forgiven us of all of our stupidness.

These Colossians we’re in the very early stages of their Faith walk with Christ. Maybe better put as very immature!  They were struggling with exactly, the same mind set as to what Jesus, is explaining to Nicodemus.  John 3:4 4 “What do you mean?” exclaimed Nicodemus. “How can an old Codger like me go back into his mother’s womb and be born again.”
