Recap

In the last blog on Colossians, we heard, felt, saw, something really 

tremendous. It was like the crashing of a wave on the beach at high

tide, or the climax of an orchestra piece with the rolling of drums

and the clashing of cymbals. Listen to the music:”

“Christ utterly wiped out the damning evidence of the law...

Completely annulled it

Nailed it to the cross.  

He drew the sting of all the powers raged against us,

He exposed them as

Shattered

Empty

Defeated

In his final, glorious, triumphant act!  (Col. 2:14,15; JB Phillips)”

Then silence

Like a wave that crests and then retreats, Paul goes on and I 

paraphrase his thoughts:

“Well, if this is true, why do I get bent out of shape over the small

stuff people judge me on--like what I eat, whether I eat or fast, what

I drink, whether I am in church every time the door opens. When,

REALLY, it all about Christ.” (Col. 2:16,17)

Papa, I stand amazed at how easily I am drawn away from the simplicity

of Christ. I get caught up in what people think about me and thus I become

the center of my life.  I need your help here. I want to focus on what Your 

Son has accomplished for me in those hours he hung upon the cross.
