The Vineyard- August 10, 2014

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.
