Our reading challenge for the day is Colossians 1-4. I’ll hit a few highlights. You make comments too and fill in the gaps. What strikes you as specially significant?
Colossians 1 - Jesus calls us as his people, to be changed into his image, showing good works and growing in grace. Is there room for us to change? Most certainly. Look at Jesus, presented as the perfect God who has reconciled us to himself. May our Lord do his work in us.
Colossians 2 - Jesus calls us to look to him, not to the wisdom of our world or our own religiosity. These things do not produce godliness. What is our philosophy? Christ crucified for us. It is not what our culture would dish out to us.
Colossians 3 - Verse 12-17 build the foundation for the other commands Paul makes, which are more specific to particular relationships. Do we trust in Jesus’ reconciliation of us adequately to allow his forgiveness to reign in our lives?
Colossians 4 - As we pray for one another, let us first and foremost pray that our speech may be seasoned with the Gospel.
