The wonder of Colossians is the incredible portrait of Jesus that it paints. Chapter 2 shouts that Jesus is the center and end all of the faith. Nothing else need be added.
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.
See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the basic principles of this world rather than on Christ (6-8).
Receive Jesus… live in Jesus… root yourself in Jesus… build yourself up in Jesus… overflowing with thankfulness. Is that a powerful nugget or what?!
Don’t follow ‘hollow’ human-made principles, follow Jesus Christ. Build your life and faith on what the Word says of Jesus… another tremendous nugget!
Lord, help me to build my life on these truths. In and through Jesus, I pray. Amen.
