The Gospel According To Tupperware

• Who am I?
• Why am I here?

(Colossians 1:15-16 NIV) The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. 16For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. 

 

• Your IDENTITY is not based on EARTHLY THINGS.

 

(Colossians 1:17-22 NIV) 17He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. 18And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. 19For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, 20and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.

21Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior. 22But now he has reconciled you by Christ’s physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation.

(Colossians 1:13-14 NIV) For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

A.W. Tozer - “I am not afraid of the devil, he can handle me- he got judo I never heard of.  But he can’t handle the One whom I am joined; he can’t handle the One to whom I am united; he can’t handle the One whose nature dwells in my nature.”

 

 

(Colossians 1:26-27 NIV) 

26 “the mystery that has been kept hidden for ages and generations but is now disclosed to the Lord’s people. To them God has chosen to make known among the Gentiles the glorious riches of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.”
