Theology and Syncretism

Some call this the Colossian heresy. But in my judgment, it's best to see it as a blend of Jewish thought with pagan elements mixed in. Paul zeroes in on the attributes of Christ in this passage that we're looking at. He gives us, if you like, Jesus is CV. It's a condensed catalog of attributes. And all of it should lead us to praise tonight. All of it can encourage our souls tonight.
