Colossians 3:16.
This coming Sunday, I’ll be preaching the 5th in the series on “The Other Ten Commandments” as found in the 3rd Chapter of Paul’s Letter to the Church in Colossae. The sermon centers around the first phrase in the 16th verse of the 3rd chapter. The title of the sermon is, “This Old House.” The theme is letting Christ dwell in the shell of our bodies and souls.
By the way, did you when and how the verses in the New Testament came to be numbered? It happened in 1551 when a publisher and editor from Paris was riding a stagecoach home. To fill his time, he added numbers to the old Greek text. He did that so it would be easier to find particular verses. He then published the old Greek text–with numbers for the first time! (Chapters were added in the 4th Century, A.D.)
If we were to consider a Bible Study, these and other interesting, but little-known facts would be discussed.
I look forward to seeing everyone on Sunday.
Blessings,
Pastor Michael
