What Jesus Offers (2 of 2)
Series: Colossians Christmas

Colossians 1:20-29
Open your bibles to Colossians 1. I've got one last Christmas present for you this morning. I'm giving you a shorter sermon than usual. Not short, but shorter. You're welcome. Last week we studied verses 15-20 of this chapter that describes 'Who Jesus Is'. That's the core of Christmas. You can have a holiday without knowing Jesus, but you can't have Christmas. Today, we're going to look at verses 19-29 and we're going to see 'What Jesus Offers'. We've all heard of the gift that keeps on giving. That's a perfect description of Jesus.

He's not a man who became a god like the New Agers teach. He's the God who became a man.
He's not a teacher sent by God like Nicodemus thought. He was God sent to teach.
The Gospels clearly displayed His divinity. He was God in His power. He spoke to the wind and waves and they obeyed Him. He was God in His pardon. He told a sinful, lame man to stand up and walk your body is healed, and your sins forgiven. He was God in His position. People bowed before Him in love, worship, and praise and He accepted it. He was God in His perception. He told the woman at the well that not only had she been married five times, and ...
