Now this I say lest anyone should deceive you with persuasive words. For though I am absent in the flesh, yet I am with you in spirit, rejoicing to see your good order and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.
As you have received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in Him, rooted and built up in Him and established in the faith, as you have been taught, abounding in it with thanksgiving.
Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily; and you are complete in Him, who is the head of all principality and power. (Colossians 4-10).
Jesus Christ is above everything, before everything, and ahead of everything in your life, in this world, and in this universe. Before you ever sinned, He was already your redeemer, waiting for you to come to Him. When you had your first revelation of God, it was Christ’s image that you beheld.
Christ is your hope of the resurrection. And because He has already experienced it, He has made it possible for you to experience it as well.
Are you empty?
Christ is your fullness
Are you weak?
He is your strength
Are you needy?
He is your supply
Are you confused?
He is your wisdom
Are you seeking?
He is your destination
Are you anxious?
He is your peace
Are you alone?
He is your companion
In Christ you have much more than you could ever imagined—everything!
Amen!
I liked the music too.
