We Proclaim Him (Jesus),
Admonishing And Teaching Everyone
With All Wisdom,
So That We Present Everyone Perfect In Christ.
COLOSSIANS 1:28
Thoughts About This Verse . . .
Our Goal as Christians is Not to Obey Some Law,
to Adhere to Some Set of Rules,
or Even Be Followers of Some Discipline.
Our Goal as Christians Is
to Be Conformed to the Character
and Ministry of Jesus.
This Is the Spirit’s Work In Us
(2 Cor. 3:18)
and as Paul makes clear here
and in other places
(Galatians 4:19)
that This Is His Goal in Working With Others.
MY PRAYER . . .
Holy Lord,
Conform my Heart, my Words,
my Life, my Ministry,
and my Actions to Those Of Jesus.
I want Him to Be My Lord,
Not Just in my Words But also In My Life.
Through Him I Pray.
Amen.
