Colossians 1:27-2:7 Living Bible (TLB)
This is a Word for today; keep it in your heart and never let it go: Christ in your hearts is your only hope of tasting the glory and culture of heaven. You need to connect to Christ. God desires to give us glimpses of the glory; it pleases Him to share with His children. We must press in and open ourselves up for the revelation and understanding; to live in vital union with Christ.
Several weeks ago in our LIFE lesson series on Revelation, we read about the lukewarm church at Laodicea who turned away from Christ’s highest for them. In our passage this morning we see the Apostle Paul had been pouring himself out to help them grow in the riches of heaven, but in Revelation we can see they were too full of themselves to be full of Christ and, therefore, faced God’s discipline instead of being filled with His glory. It is always about humans making wise choices.
