We took a break from Colossians the last two days, but want to return today as Paul continues to share JESUS in the 2nd chapter. His references to the names and descriptions of JESUS are so encouraging:
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."
