Colossians 2:6-15

Colossians 2:6-15
English Standard Version (ESV)

 Is there any greater news than the second half of this passage?  Think about everything that's going on in the world right now -- there's a virus ripping around the globe, a presidential election seems already chaotic, there are economic questions about the future of the globe, and we're all struggling with brokenness in some way, shape, or form, and here we are, promised that though we were dead, Christ makes us alive, canceling the record of our debt through his death on the cross.
  You have been freely raised to life by the gift of Christ.  This is the good news of the Gospel, and may you never cease to wonder at what God has done for you, not because you deserved it, but because God loves you.
  Because of what God has done for you, may your mind and heart pursue him, continually captivated by the story of grace, pursuing Christ at every turn, growing in love and wisdom.
