In the sermon this past Sunday, we ended the Colossians series by looking at Colossians 3:18-4:1. In this section of Colossians, Paul reminds the church how Christ has redeemed the hierarchy of relationships on earth. Before the Fall, Adam and Eve walked in righteous submission to God that led to abundant life and human flourishing. They were to reflect this leadership and submission by the way Adam led Eve and the way they displayed their dominion over creation. Because of sin, God’s good creation was twisted and marred, distorting the leadership role of human civilization. Through the Gospel, God’s redemption reaches into the darkness of human culture and redeems what has been lost in our homes and in our society.
