Key Verse:
Colossians 1:19-20
For God was pleased to have all his fullness dwell in him, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether things on earth or things in heaven, by making peace through his blood, shed on the cross.
Reflection:
In order for the Colossians to fully grasp the truth, they needed to know the full character of God. His sovereignty, centrality, and totality are the same today. He holds all things together. On the cross, He reconciled us; our responsibility now is to "remain grounded and steadfast in the faith" (verse 23) and walk in obedience.
Response:
How do verses 15-20 change your perspective on the magnitude of Christ?
Culture can easily shift, and in the process, distract us from seeing God for who He is. What has distracted you recently from your walk with God? Spend a moment and pray that God would help you to overcome distractions.
