TSK · Colossians 2:5

For the LORD said to Moses,“They must present their offering, one leader for each day, for the dedication of the altar.”

There was a large number of burnt sacrifices, as well as fat from the peace offerings and drink offerings that accompanied the burnt sacrifices. So the service of the LORD’s temple was reinstituted.

They were not really committed to him, and they were unfaithful to his covenant.

For even though I am absent physically, I am present in spirit. And I have already judged the one who did this, just as though I were present.

And do everything in a decent and orderly manner.

Final Challenge and Blessing Stay alert, stand firm in the faith, show courage, be strong.

Forced Absence from Thessalonica But when we were separated from you, brothers and sisters, for a short time(in presence, not in affection) we became all the more fervent in our great desire to see you in person.

For we have become partners with Christ, if in fact we hold our initial confidence firm until the end.

Resist him, strong in your faith, because you know that your brothers and sisters throughout the world are enduring the same kinds of suffering.
