Today’s Devotion
Topic: Let’s Talk About Jesus!
Text: Colossians 2: 9- 10
9 For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. 10 And in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority. AMEN
“In the past God spoke to our ancestors through the prophets at many times and in various ways, but in these last days He has spoken to us by His Son, whom He appointed heir of all things, and through whom also He made the universe.
The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being, sustaining all things by His powerful word. After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
So He became as much superior to the angels as the name He has inherited is superior to theirs.” (Hebrews 1: 1- 4)
As all others appear to be chasing after things that have no eternal value, tell the believer to rejoice over the fact that Jesus is his/her portion. He is God’s special gift to all who will believe in their hearts and confess with their lips that Jesus is Lord.
All we want to know, experience and learn from God are enshrined in the person of Jesus Christ; the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of His being. Those of us who have believed in His name have been brought into the fullness of God.
Prophet Habakkuk, with his spiritual telescope, perceived this mystery many many years before God was revealed in flesh. He wrote, “though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, though the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, YET I WILL REJOICE IN THE LORD, I WILL BE JOYFUL IN GOD MY SAVIOUR.” (Hab 3: 17- 18)
Therefore, rejoice when you feel down. Rejoice when the economy is bad. Rejoice when your dreams seem crushing right in your face. REJOICE BECAUSE YOU HAVE JESUS, AND HE BRINGS YOU INTO THE FULLNESS OF GOD. HE IS THE HEAD OVER EVERY POWER AND AUTHORITY. IN HIM WE HAVE EVERY GAIN!
