The Vineyard
I am the vine; you are the
branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much fruit,
for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5
Colossians 1:15-23
Pray that God will speak to you
through the reading of His word.

Christ the Creator
o
Jesus’ ministry didn’t begin on
earth. Jesus has existed for all
eternity as God, and was present at the beginning as God’s agent of
creation. How often do you consider that
Christ didn’t just die for you, he also created you?
-
Christ the Redeemer
o
As the one who created you, Jesus
knows you better than you know yourself.
What does it mean to you that even though Christ knows all your secrets,
all your failures, all the things you never said, all the thoughts you were
ashamed of thinking; what does it means to you that even knowing all that, he
still choose to die for you?
-
“You are Here”
o
After telling us a lot about Christ,
Paul then turns to tell us a lot about ourselves. Have you truly allowed Christ to ransom you
from your old way of thinking, acting, and living?
Pray that we will honor Christ as
his creation, and live our lives according to his will.
Pray that we will appreciate the
great cost of our redemption.
Pray that we will see others as
Christ has seen us, people of great worth.
