Jesus Beings Us into the Light
Read Colossians 1:13-16
Today’s Truth
Often, we stroll through life without a care in the world, consumed with ourselves and blind to the darkness around us. We fail to recognize the imminent danger. We wander not knowing we’re lost.
God, in His great love for us, doesn’t leave us in the dark. Colossians 1:13-14says, "he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins."
Discussion Questions
- What is one area of your life that is full of Jesus’s light? How did it get this way?
- Is there an attitude or habit you keep hidden in the dark? If so, what is one way you can bring it to the light?
Application
Jesus reveals who God is. And once we see that there’s no going back. In Jesus, the invisible becomes visible. He answers the question, "What if God were one of us?" and shows us a new way to live.
The Message says it this way, "We look at this Son and see God’s original purpose in everything created" (Colossians 1:15, MSG).
