March 20, 2014 Psalm 95
Thursday Exodus 16:1-8
Colossians 1:15-23
Paul,
in his letter to the newly formed church at Colossae, seeks to acknowledge
their accomplishment and to reinforce their faith. These verses provided for me
another synopsis of Christ’s mission while here on Earth and after his death
and resurrection. Christ, the Son of God, is the embodiment of God. No one can
even begin to comprehend the omnipotence of God the Father; but on the other
hand, Jesus was born here and walked the Earth, visible to his contemporaries,
created in the image of God and provides us with tangible proof not only of
God’s power, but also his love for us. These verses remind all that Christ has
redeemed us from our sins by his crucifixion and death on the cross and then
subsequent resurrection.
Heavenly
Father, you gave your only Son to walk among us briefly and then to die for us
and for our salvation that we might inherit the kingdom of heaven. Help us to
be always mindful of his great sacrifice for us. Thank you Lord for this great
gift.
Paul
Doster
