I am hungry for the word of God. Jesus, the only son of God, died on the cross to pay for our sins. He is our lifeline to everlasting life.
This morning I woke up thinking Colossians. Why I wonder?
Keith and I are planning to visit Monty on August 3rd. I wanted to start planning the trip. Monty lives somewhere in Picton. I don’t have the coordinates; Keith does. I will be in charge of driving.
Colossians is on page 1103 of my Holy Bible, the New Saint James version.
Keith and I discussed the trip to Monty’s over the dishes. We have a suitcase in the studio closet which we have never used. It was hanging on a hanger and he got it out for me to pack. It might be too big for overnight.
Anyway Colossians starts out:
GREETINGS
- Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the will of God, and Timothy our brother.
- 2. To the Saints and faithful brethren in Christ who are in Colosse.
- Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ
THEIR FAITH IN CHRIST
PREEMINENCE OF CHRIST
RECONCILED IN CHRIST
SACRIFICIAL SERVICE FOR CHRIST
Colosse had been “a great city of Phrygia,”
