As we prepare for the Lord’s Day this weekend, we will be looking at Colossians 2:13-15 in the AM service (PM Services will be cancelled for Mother’s Day). The focus will be on how God has made us spiritually alive in Christ. Here’s an excellent quote from Peter O’Brien, NT Scholar extraordinaire, on the truth of this passage:

Christ is the One whom [the Colossians] received as Lord. Let them continue to live in Him, for He is the One in whom the entire fullness of the Godhead dwells, the One in whom they had been made full, the person in whom they have been incorporated in death, burial, resurrection. It is in Him they have been raised and given new life. What really matters, then, is Christ and Christ alone.

Well said. Plan coming to focus on all that really matters, then, this Lord’s Day.
