Why bring up external things? Because they are just that, external, and they clearly demonstrate truths, and these are truths that some teachers, both in Paul’s day and certainly in our day, seek to work against. Let’s talk about this. We talked a couple weeks ago in regard to the early form of the teachings of Gnosticism, which were being developed in the first century in places like the city of Colossae, and Paul had to work against these people. One of their points was that the external body was bad, was evil. The conclusion was then drawn that Christ himself did not reside in a physical body since God himself would not dwell in something that is evil, So, it is the denial that Jesus came in the flesh, or that he was only temporally in the flesh. But we know, or should know by now, that Jesus, even to this day, dwells in a human body.
