Plugged In

Let’s be honest, we’ve all encountered a time when we’ve gone to turn on some electronic device and it doesn’t work. We try and try again, but to no avail. After some investigating, we realize “it” wasn’t plugged in in the first place, and kick ourselves for the lapse of foolishness.

I am reminded of a similar situation that unfolds in the book of Colossians. At first glance of this book, it appears the Colossian people are not plugged into Christ. In fact it looks as though they have made some unhealthy connections all together. The truth is that false teaching had infiltrated this early century church, and as a result many of the Colossian people had combined other thoughts, philosophies and religious ideas with Christian truth. As you can imagine, the result was not good.

Thankfully the Colossians’ mistakes don’t get the best of them and through the Apostle Paul’s letter to this church, these critical issues are addressed.

“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ who is the head over every power and authority.” Colossians 2:9-10

On behalf of the Intersection team, I invite you to join us as we journey through and begin unlocking the teachings of the book of Colossians during the first half of this New Year. It is my prayer as you read Colossians and follow the Intersection postings, that you will gain a fresh understanding that in Christ we have everything we need. He is our ultimate Power Source, and it’s time to plug in.
