Colossians 1:15-23
If you understand the truth about Jesus, you will have all the resources you need to cope with the most difficult aspects of life.
What you know and believe and how you apply it to your life is what keeps things from unraveling all the way.
1. Jesus is your source of strength. (15-16)
Jesus in your life gives you a key ingredient advantage. (Ephesians 3:20-21; Psalms 18:2)
2. Jesus can hold your life together when it seems to be falling apart. (17)
If He can keep the universe under control, He can control the chaos of your day-to-day life.
3. Jesus can give you peace with God and with yourself. (19-20)
a. You became holy and blameless because Jesus Christ died on the cross for your sins.
b. You don't have to feel guilty about the past because the One you have sinned against has forgiven you.
c. You don't have to feel fearful about the future because the One who controls the future is taking care of you.
These doctrines of Christ matter because of what they say about what Jesus does for us. If you believe it, then it gives you a source of strength, confidence, and peace.
