In Colossians, Paul does not
start with your situation. He starts with Jesus—exalted, eternal,
Creator, Sustainer, Head of the Church.
And then he
says: That Jesus lives in you.
Paul is not
just giving us theology—he is giving us identity.
You are
complete in Christ. Forgiven in Christ. Hidden in Christ.
So whatever
competes for your peace today—pull your eyes back to Him.
Jesus is not
an addition. He is everything.
