TEXT: COLOSSIANS
2:1–5
1: I want you to know how
hard I am contending for you and for those at Laodicea, and for all who have
not met me personally.
2: My goal is that they
may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full
riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of
God, namely, Christ,
3: in whom are hidden all
the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.
4: I tell you this so
that no one may deceive you by fine-sounding arguments.
5: For though I am absent
from you in body, I am present with you in spirit and delight to see how
disciplined you are and how firm your faith in Christ is.
(New International
Version Holy Bible)
TOPIC: CONCERN
FOR FELLOW BELIEVERS
Mothers’
care for their biological children is often displayed through the way they
respond to their children’s needs.
They
discipline the children out of love and a deep concern for their future. It is
this kind of love for the believers at Colosse that Paul expressed in verses
1–3.
The
apostle was concerned about the possibility of the Christians being deceived by
wrong teachers if they did not know the extent of grace they have in Christ.
He
then took time to teach them, just as he had done to the Laodicea believers.
He
was always concern about the spiritual growth of the young believers. We are
expected to do the same, even today.
QUESTION: How deep is your concern for the growth of young
believers in Christ?
PRAYER: Grant me, dear Lord, the grace to love and have
deep concern for fellow believers, in Jesus' name I pray. Amen.
Remain
Blessed
