Trust your redeemer
Thought of the day
Colossians 1:14-16 “14in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sin.15He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. 16For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him.
Jesus is so remarkable that to describe him completely will take an eternity. Paul gives us a few of his attributes that effect us personally and should cause us praise him with tremendous joy and wonder. He redeemed us by buying us back from the penalty of all our sins. Not just some of them but all our sins. The older I get the more I realize how great a gift that is to me. Then Paul describes who Jesus is that redeemed you, God himself. He revealed God to us so we can see the one who all things were made and everything was made for him. We were made for Jesus! When Jesus rose from the dead he had a spiritual body not a physical body and when we rise from the dead we are going to have bodies like Jesus. Now that is amazing! How do we know all of this will happen because all authorities are created for him. Nothing happens without Jesus permission. Now should we trust the one who redeemed us? Yes, completely. Jesus help us trust you more today. For your glory and our joy. Amen
