Colossians letter 1:13

Ons leef in ’n wêreld wat ons jaag na meer — meer geld, meer erkenning, meer prestasie. Tog, hoe harder ons probeer, hoe leër voel ons. Die mense van Kolosse het dieselfde druk beleef. Paulus skryf aan hulle en wys dat vervulling nie lê in wat ons doen nie, maar in Christus alleen. Hy is die begin en einde van betekenis. Ek nooi jou om saam met my deur Kolossense te reis, om jou ware identiteit in Hom te ontdek. Hy is die middelpunt van jou lewe — dit is waarvoor jy gemaak is.

Embracing the supernatural reality of the spiritual world of the Bible is essential for understanding the Bible. Though we can’t see everything, God is working behind the scenes to cause everything promised in the Bible to come to pass. This 5-day plan will challenge you to live intentionally​—and believe that His unseen hand is engaged in your circumstances.

We often hope in the world around us—for a promotion, a better relationship, a stronger family, and recovery of the sick. But trusting only in earthly outcomes will fail us. The Bible says we will experience loss and disappointment on earth, but we are held in God’s eternal love. On this plan, you will learn about God’s care for you and see how spiritual hope can bring strength amid life’s storms.

Daar was nog nooit ʼn meer indrukwekkende persoon as Jesus van Nasaret nie. Is Hy egter genoeg? Genoeg vir jou redding, jou karakter, jou lewensdoel? Genoeg vir jou hele lewe? In hierdie vyf-dag leesplan gebruik Jo Ströhfeldt Paulus se woorde in die boek Kolossense om ons te herinner dat alles verander wanneer ons Jesus die middelpunt van alles maak.
