Scripture Reading
Colossians 2:2
My goal is that they may be encouraged in heart and united in love, so that they may have the full riches of complete understanding, in order that they may know the mystery of God, namely, Christ.
Reflection
Paul's deepest desire for the communities he served was not theological precision alone but hearts knit together in love. Understanding grows in the warmth of community, not merely in the cool air of solitary study. We were never meant to pursue Christ in isolation — the mystery of God is somehow grasped more fully when we hold it together. Cherish your community today as a means of knowing God.
Prayer for Today
Lord Jesus Christ, you are the bread of life, let us feast on you and find nourishment for our souls. You are the light of the world, let us follow you out of the darkness. You are the door, let us enter the Father's presence in your name. You are the good shepherd, let us rest in your provision. You are the resurrection and the life, let us find true life and victory in you. You are the way, the truth and the life, let us love you with all our heart, soul, mind and strength. We pray this in your name, Amen.
Amen.
