Jesus Is At The Center of It All!

Colossians 1:17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.

Oh, how He loves you and me! What great lengths the Father God went to, to reconcile us back to Himself. Colossians gives us a beautiful picture of the awesome love of God extended toward us. “¹⁹For it was the Father’s good pleasure for all the fullness to dwell in Him [Jesus], ²⁰and through Him [Jesus] to reconcile all things to Himself, having made peace through the blood of His cross; through Him, I say, whether things on earth or things in heaven. ²¹And although you were formerly alienated and hostile in mind, engaged in evil deeds, ²²yet He [Jesus] has now reconciled you in His fleshly body through death, in order to present you before Him [Father God] holy and blameless and beyond reproach. Because of Adam’s sin, we were lost in the dark recesses of sin without any hope of every being reinstated as children of God. Through God’s divine intervention into our hopeless state, He made Jesus Christ the centerpiece by which we could come back to Him. With the divine fullness (the sum total of the divine perfection, powers, and attributes) dwelling in Jesus, we who have faith in Him have been translated out of darkness into the marvelous light where the Father resides. For in Him is no darkness at all. Jesus is the center of it all! Receive His finished work today and walk in the light at He is in the light.

Prayer for today: Father, I was lost, but you have made Jesus the center of my redemption. Thank for reconciling me back unto yourself. Thank you for loving me and providing for me as no one else could have. In JESUS name, AMEN.

Whatever you must do today, there is a grace for that. Accept the grace and make it a sweatless day.
