Colossians 1:28-29
“We preach Christ, warning people not to add to the Message. We teach in a spirit of profound common sense so that we can bring each person to maturity. To be mature is to be basic. Christ! No more, no less. That’s what I’m working so hard at day after day, year after year, doing my best with the energy God so generously gives me.”
“So we tell others about Christ, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all the wisdom God has given us. We want to present them to God, perfect in their relationship to Christ. That’s why I work and struggle so hard, depending on Christ’s mighty power that works within me.”
God is infinitely big, infinitely small and now I know he is infinitely simple. All the truth in the universe is wrapped up in one person, Christ. He is good news. Christ heals all and solves all. His power sustains subatomic particles and therefore all creation. All hope points to Christ who puts all things right. Christ is the only one able to reveal the Father. He is the center of creation and time.
Lord, I want to single-mindedly dwell on Jesus. I want him to be the center of my heart, my life, my spirit and my body. I want more of him and need more of him. Please, help me!
