God's Fellowship (9)

Keep On Keeping On

Colossians 2:6–7 could be restated like this:

Remember when y’all first received or accepted Christ Jesus as your Lord? That happened. It’s fact. Now this needs to happen:

Keep going! Continue following him! (Still as your Lord, by the way. Never forget that he is King of all creation — including you.)

Be like strong and healthy trees, deeply rooted in him. Know him. Know about him. Be with him. Worship him.

Be like a strong and sturdy tower, built on him as a rock-solid foundation. Trust him. Honor him. Obey him.

Be absolutely and totally all-in with faith and truth. (There are plenty of counterfeits out there. Beware!)

By the way, this is going to require some serious learning by all y’all, which means there needs to be some serious teaching of all y’all. (Are you learning? Are there people teaching you?)

Also: be thankful. Really and very thankful. Because none of us deserves any of this.

As you read today's verses, notice how relevant they are for every follower of Jesus today.

Reflect

• What do you think it means to accept and follow Christ as Lord?
• What do you learn about God in these verses? (When Paul writes "God" he almost always means the Father.)
• What do you learn about Jesus in these verses? (When Paul writes "Lord" he almost always means Jesus).
• What do you learn about the Holy Spirit in these verses?
• What do you learn about humanity and yourself in these verses?
