The Epistle of Paul to the Colossians-2

Christ-Creato

The subtle errors of a bygone day are still a snare to the unwary.

After presenting Christ as the divine Creator, Paul continues by exalting his Master as the Redeemer. Only a divine being could redeem a fallen world. Ac- cordingly this order is strictly logical and essential to the discussion in the ensuing chapters. Consider this apostolic emphasis upon Christ's deity. It is breathtaking to realize what must have been the significance of these words to those who first read them. Was Paul saying that the cruci- fied Nazarene Carpenter was in actual fact the fashioner of all things, and that all things were "for" Him, and furthermore, that all believers were reckoned as part of Christ's divine body and reckoned as having suffered with end Lord Him? Yes, Paul was asserting just that, and the same as- sertion needs to be made vigorously and repeatedly in our time. What Modern Scholars Do With Christ Surely Paul's presentation of Christ's deity and creator- ship is now more pertinent than ever. Liberal Protestants today either deny the historical Jesus or relegate Him to a purely human status. Neo-orthodox groups, straddling the fence between extreme liberalism and the old orthodoxy, "demythologize" the Gospel records—remove parts they consider to be myth—and leave us with an anemic Christ who remains merely a witness to divinity. Among those who profess to believe all of Scripture as inspired we find groups such as the Jehovah's Witnesses and the Chris- tadelphians, but they also deny our Lord's deity. In these various ways Christ's divinity is repudiated as certainly now in the twentieth century as it was by the proto-Gnos- tics of old Colosse in the first.

It happened during only a brief moment, while we were reading a few sentences. There was no sound, no cry. My wife glanced from her page to where Margaret had been sitting, and she wasn't there. For a moment her eye searched the bank behind us; she wasn't there, either. "Where's Margaret?" was her sud- den cry. The child couldn't have walked off, for there wasn't time. My wife jumped down from the rock, looked about her in a frenzy of desperation. How could the child have vanished completely? Glancing down again at the spot where Margaret had been sitting, my wife saw something indistinct be- neath the surface of the water. An up- turned hand was waving its fingers as a child might raise her hand in school. Grabbing the waving hand, my wife yanked the dripping child straight up onto the bank again.

The pathway heavenward is a strenuous climb and is traveled only by the few. The multitudes never choose that which involves climbing. During the summer of 1961 we ac- companied a group of young people on a ten-day pack trip through the high country of the Sierras. We started in Yosemite Valley, climbing to the north rim of the valley via the Tenaya zigzags, and from there on up into the high country, making a 60-mile loop up past May Lake, Glen Auln, Vogelsang Peak, Merced Lake, Half Dome, and Nevada Falls, and then back down into Yosemite Val- ley from the opposite side. The first day's climb was especially arduous. Someone counted 140 switchbacks before we reached the north rim of the valley. Besides this, our muscles were soft from city liv- ing, we were not yet acclimated to the higher elevations, and all of us were carrying packs.

Come with me on a trip to the island of Timor, Indonesia. The truck, which they call a bus, is well loaded with people who will take it as far as it goes. At the end of the road they meet the mountain people who will sell them fruit, vegeta- bles, and meat at reasonable prices. We leave the bus, gather our things together, and begin the hike to Poti. The air is fresh, the trail ascending and de- scending, the sun is hot, the missionary is thirsty, but at Poti someone will climb a coconut tree and fetch a coconut, and our thirst will be quenched. Soon we ar- rive at Poti, the place where Seventh-day Adventists are called Orang bersih, which means "the clean people." Ten years ago there were no Seventh- day Adventists in this area, but today we have four churches. A young man from this area learned of the soon coming of Jesus.
