Daily Reading - Collossians 1:15-20
Discussion & Reflection: In Colossians 1, Paul summarizes the purpose and requisite sacrifice of Jesus in verse 19, which says, “19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.” How did Jesus bring reconciliation to humanity? What does that mean for you in your daily life?
