06/22 Colossians 1:28
So everywhere we go, we tell everyone about Christ. We warn them and teach them with all the wisdom God has given us, for we want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ.
JESUS
Jesus is Lord. There is no other way to the Father than thru Jesus. He loves you. This relationship with Jesus is a free gift from Him. Jesus is Lord.
06/21 Colossians 1:27
For it has pleased God to tell his people that the riches and glory of Christ are for you Gentiles, too. For this is the secret: Christ lives in you, and this is your assurance that you will share in his glory.
JESUS
Jesus is alive and well and He resides in you. Amazing thought isn’t it? The Creator of the Universe loves you and is available to direction, wisdom, mercy and grace to your life.
06/20 Colossians 1:26
This message was kept secret for centuries and generations past, but now it has been revealed to his own holy people.
MESSAGE
The message is that the Lord Himself has provided for our forgiveness and inclusion in the Family of God. This forgiveness is a FREE GIFT. We don’t earn it. We don’t hold on to it. Jesus has a hold on you and He will never let you go.ME
06/19 Colossians 1:25
God has given me the responsibility of serving his church by proclaiming his message in all its fullness to you Gentiles.
GOSPEL
You too can be saved. Ask Jesus into your heart and He says you will be saved. Don’t let your sin pull the wool over your eyes. You can be saved. Jesus is Lord. When He is Lord of your life sharing the Gospel becomes a part of who you are.
06/18 Colossians 1:24
I am glad when I suffer for you in my body, for I am completing what remains of Christ’s sufferings for his body, the church.
SUFFER
We will suffer for the Gospel. The world will ignore most of what we say. We may even be stoned and ostracized for proclaiming the Gospel. Remember you belong to Him and He will always keep you. Live with courage.
06/17 Colossians 1:23
But you must continue to believe this truth and stand in it firmly. Don’t drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News. The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul, have been appointed by God to proclaim it.
SIN
Sin will tell you a lot of lies. Here is the truth: when Jesus saves you, you are saved. Sin will tell you see how you act. Jesus says you belong to me and I will never let you go. Salvation is a gift. You can’t earn it. Jesus saved you.
06/16 Colossians 1:21-22
This includes you who were once so far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions, 22 yet now he has brought you back as his friends. He has done this through his death on the cross in his own human body. As a result, he has brought you into the very presence of God, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.
SIN
We condemn the sin others do and somehow or another reclassify our sin as little mistakes or forget them altogether. Sin is sin. It is evil. It is dark. It hampers our relationship with the Father. Ask the Lord to point out your sin. Then when the Holy Spirit touches your heart, stop and ask the Lord for forgiveness. Keep short accounts with Jesus.
06/15 Colossians 1:19-20
For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, 20 and by him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of his blood on the cross.
RECONCILED
The Lord Jesus Christ has reconciled us to the Father. He forgives us, gives us His righteousness and brings us into the Family of God. Rejoice Jesus is indeed Lord.
06/14 Colossians 1:18
Christ is the head of the church, which is his body. He is the first of all who will rise from the dead, so he is first in everything.
CHRIST
First, first, first in all things, and in everything and He is head of the church. When you are fearful remember that we serve a Risen Savior whose every thought towards you is a thought for good.
06/13 Colossians 1:17
He existed before everything else began, and he holds all creation together.
JESUS
Saved and sinner alike cannot exist without Jesus. He holds all creation together. He is the Alpha and Omega. One day we will be with Him for eternity.
