3rd Sunday in October
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Colossians 2:6-14
Therefore as you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, having been
firmly rooted and now being built up in Him and established in your faith, just
as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.
See to it that no one takes you captive through philosophy and empty deception,
according to the tradition of men, according to the elementary principles of the
world, rather than according to Christ.
For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have
been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority; and in Him you
were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of
the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ; having been buried with Him
in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working
of God, who raised Him from the dead.
When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh,
He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions,
having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which
was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.
Colossians 2:6-14 (NAS)

Easy-to-Read Version:

You received Christ Jesus the Lord. So continue to live following him without changing
anything. You must depend on Christ only. Life and strength come from him. You were
taught the truth. You must continue to be sure of that true teaching. And always
be thankful.

Be sure that no person leads you away with false ideas and words that mean nothing.
Those ideas come from people, not Christ. Those ideas are the worthless ideas of
people in the world.

All of God lives in Christ fully (even in Christ's life on earth). And in Christ
you are full. You need nothing else. Christ is ruler over all rulers and powers.
In Christ you had a different kind of circumcision. That circumcision was not done
by the hands of any person. I mean you were made free from the power of your sinful
self. That is the kind of circumcision Christ does. When you were baptized, your
old self died and you were buried with Christ. And in that baptism you were raised
up with Christ because of your faith in God's power. God's power was shown when
he raised Christ from death.

You were spiritually dead because of your sins and because you were not free from
the power of your sinful self. But God made you alive with Christ. And God forgave
all our sins. We owed a debt because we broke God's laws. That debt listed all the
rules we failed to follow. But God forgave us of that debt. God took away that debt
and nailed it to the cross. Colossians 2:6-14 (ERV)
