Colossians 3:18-4:1

We now head into the last section of Colossians. Paul's desire is that we would all be mature in Christ. He has spent the last section laying out for us the commands necessary to be mature in Christ.Our maturity in Christ should be reflected in our relationships. Paul gives a series of simple and singular commands beginning with the husband and wife, then the parent and child. And lastly, we will look at the master and slave, or better put in our day, the employer and employee.Obedience to the commands concerning these relationships is a direct reflection of the depth of our relationship with Christ. It is a key component of our being a living epistle.May our maturity in Christ be reflected in all our relationships to the glory of God.
