Summary

It’s one thing to have the gospel presented to you. It’s another thing to have it come to you. According to this passage, it is very easy to miss the gospel. How do you know if the gospel has come to you? This passage tells us four tests so you can know if the gospel has come to you or not: 1) the gospel is joy, 2) the gospel is a power, 3) the gospel is grace, and 4) the gospel is Christ himself. This sermon was preached by Dr. Timothy Keller at Redeemer Presbyterian Church on December 3, 1995. Series: Matthew 9. Scripture: Colossians 1:1-8, 28-29. Today's podcast is brought to you by Gospel in Life, the site for all sermons, books, study guides and resources from Timothy Keller and Redeemer Presbyterian Church.

0:00.0	Is it possible to know who the real Jesus is? Today Tim Keller is teaching about the
0:08.1	authentic Jesus of the Bible, not the Jesus who is a projection of our own desires and biases, but the real surprising Jesus who changes a person from the inside out.
0:19.0	After you listen, we'd appreciate it if you would take a few moments to rate and review the podcast.
0:24.0	When you do, you'll be encouraging others to listen so they can discover the real Jesus,

0:31.7	Now here's today's teaching from Dr. Keller.
0:34.1	The passage on which our teaching is taken this morning
0:41.4	is printed in your bulletin. It's Colosians Chapter 1.
0:46.4	The very first verses of it of that chapter and the very last verses of it. Let me read to you. Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God and
0:58.1	Timothy our brother, to the holy and faithful brothers in Christ at Kallase, Grace and peace to you from God our Father.
1:06.4	We always thank God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ when we pray for you because we have

1:36.2	You learned it from Apophris, our dear fellow servant, who is a faithful minister of Christ
1:41.0	on our behalf, and who also told us of your love and the spirit. We proclaim
1:46.6	him admonishing and teaching everyone with all wisdom so that we may present everyone perfect in Christ.
1:54.3	To this end I labor, struggling with all his energy which so powerfully works in me. This is God's word. Now the two high celebrations of the church are Christmas and
