Christ Jesus Living In You
All is not well in Colosse. A heresy
that Jesus Christ is neither central
nor supreme is undermining
the church. Paul’s response to
these false teachings is two-fold.
First, he upholds Christ as the
preeminent Head of the church.
Next, he speaks out against the
rituals and man-made regulations.
which typify worship at Colosse.
Lord Jesus, You Live Within Us:
We ask God to give you complete
understanding of what he wants
to do in your lives, & make you wise
with spiritual wisdom… We also
pray that you will be strengthened
with His glorious power so that
you will have all the patience and
endurance you need. May you
be filled with joy, always thanking
the Father, who has enabled you to
share the inheritance that belongs
to God’s people (Col 1:9-12).
Everything was created thro Him &
for Him…that in all things He may
have the preeminence (v16-18).
This is the secret: Christ lives in u
and this is your assurance that you
will share in his glory (v27). Amen.
