Colossians 1:21
Newly-arrived stuffs:
1. Alienate (v)
- Make someone feel isolated and estranged
Ex: Once you were alienated from God = make God isolated and estranged.
- Make some one become unsympathetic and hostile.
Ex: I make him alienated and he hits me.
2. Reconcile (v)
- Restore friendly relations between.
Ex: She wanted to be reconciled with her father
- Make or show to be compatible
Ex: Educators at all levels need to reconcile rigor and creativity, and to treat them as compatible, coexising dimensions of intelligence.
3. Proclaim (v)
(+) [with clause]: announce officially and publicly
Ex: This is the gospel that you heard and has been proclaimed..."
(+) Say something emphatically, declare:
Ex: I proclaimed I can do all things throug HIM who strengthened me.
- Indicate something clearly
Ex: His high, intelligent forehead proclaimed a strength of mind that was almost tangible
4. Blemish = A small mark or flaw which spoils the appearance of something. COUTABLE nouns
Ex: Her beauty is without a blemish.
- a moral defect or fault:
Ex. Her evil behavior proclaimed that she is full of blemishes
==================
Lessons:
- The HOPE is GOSPEL. When you lose hope, please read gospel. To be strong in faith, you need to feed your spirit with gospel.
- Through Jesus' death, you are cleansed and He wants to PRESENT YOU HOLY IN HIS SIGHT. He uses his death to correct and change you. If you do something wrong, he will die again to help you. We are the image of God. He wants us to be holly or at least, improve us to be better, be hollier.
***Personally, I somehow conclude a lesson: There is no a half-and-half choice or two things in one. If you want yourself better, you need to choose something to be out of your life, DEATH, and make something or pray to God help you construct something good in your life. You need to choose.
- Why did Paul decide to be a servant? He wants to share the GOSPEL, share the HOPE. Inside the Gospel is HOPE. Inside the HOPE is FAITH.
===================
Bonus:
"Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior."
"But now he has reconciled you by Christ's physical body through death to present you holy in his sight, without blemish and free from accusation -
"If you continue in your faith, established and firm, not moved from THE HOPE held out in the gospel. This is the gospel that you heard and hat has been proclaimed to every creature under heaven and of which I, Paul, have become a servant.""=============
