Introduction

Paul warns the Colossians not to let anyone deceive them with false arguments. He encourages them to remain strong in faith, rooted in Christ Jesus, and to set their hearts and minds on the things of heaven, putting aside earthly desires.

Today’s Scripture: Colossians 2:6

Since you have accepted Christ Jesus as Lord, live in union with him.

Today’s Reading 

Colossians 2:6—3:4

Reflect

In today’s reading, how is Paul’s message different from the message others are trying to teach the Colossians? What verses point to these differences? What messages in the world today attempt to lure people away from the life that God offers through Christ Jesus? Paul talks about dying with Christ and being raised to life with Christ (2:20—3:4). What does this mean to you?

Pray

Lord Jesus, I have accepted you as my Lord and Savior. My real life is with you. Keep me rooted in you, and strengthen my faith each day as I live to serve you. Amen.

Prayer Concern

Those being led astray by false teachings
