Colossians 2
Col 2:1 ~ Paul had a great conflict, or struggle, for these people, who he had never even met. It's easy to love and strive for those you know. To have that kind of heart for a church he didn't even know at all is amazing to me!
Col 2:8 ~ So relevant to today's world! How many times I've heard "I used to be a Christian but someone talked me out of it/something convinced me it wasn't true/someone asked questions I couldn't answer." Seems to me that Satan's been using this trick for at least the past 2000 years. And we're still allowing ourselves to be taken in by it.
Col 2:14 ~ I love the wording of this: "having wiped out the handwriting of requirements that was against us, which was contrary to us. And He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross." I always picture Martin Luther nailing his 95 Theses to the door. I wonder if he thought of this verse as he did?
Col 2:20-23 ~ The Bible says that legalism is "false humility" and "of no value." AMEN!
