Colossians 1:15-29 - Maturity comes through the proclamation of Christ. Paul had as his purpose, not simply to plant churches and move on, but to go beyond conversion to discipleship. Maturity for Christians comes from proclaiming Jesus Christ. This seems overly simple, but it is not. Many Christians are content to stay in shallow waters, stating belief but not standing firm in God's promises. Other Christians believe they are diving in deep only to find themselves surrounded by rules and ignoring that Jesus is all in all. So Paul in his wisdom points us back again and again to the supremacy of Jesus. Meditate on verses 15 through 23. What does Christ's supremacy mean for you?
Colossians 3:1-14 - Here we find once again that our identity informs our behavior. We have been raised with Christ. Our life is hidden with him. Be who you are.
