THE SUPREMACY OF CHRIST

Colossians 1:1-23

Kevin's Commentary

You are encouraged to go through steps or process scripture in these steps:

• Pray = in anticipation of what God wants you to discover. Lord, the more I get to know You, the more I realize that there really is no one like You.
• Read = with purpose look for what God is trying to communicate. You may want to read out of several translations and highlight key words.
• Reflect = on the context and put yourself in the shoes of people at that time. What new or surprising thing(s) did you learn about Jesus from this passage? How does that expand your understanding of God?
• God is ... What do we learn about God?
• We are ... What do we learn about people?
• How did Paul describe Jesus? How would you? “He is….”
• “If you act like a Christian, you are a Christian, whether you believe in Jesus Christ or not.” Do you agree? Explain. Is the reverse true (“If you don’t act like a Christian…”)?
• Apply = information without application is fruitless. Decide on some practical steps you can take for fulfill what God wants you to do. When you go outside at night look at the stars and planets. Remind yourself that Jesus created them and holds them all in place by his mighty power.
• Pray = yielding to God to empower you to do what the word convicted you to do. Tell God how amazed you are at who Jesus is and all that he does. Thank God for taking good care of everything.

Before the Next Time: Make a list of what you have learned about Jesus and his ways in these readings. Then, take time to thank him for who he is and for what he has done for you in his death and resurrection—and rejoice!
