Life is about Jesus Christ
I am glad when I suffer for you in my body, for I am participating in the sufferings of Christ that continue for his body, the church. Colossians 1:24
Life is all about worship unto God and the meaning of your life is wrapping up in the Man – Jesus Christ. Christianity is Christ. Colossians 1 highlights how Paul’s entire life, thinking and preaching are focused on Jesus Christ. In today’s passage he says “I am glad when I suffered for you in my body, for I am participating in the sufferings of Christ that continue for his body, the church.” Note in this passage Paul is in prison suffering for the sake of Christ’s body: that is, the church (1:24).
There will always be an emptiness in your heart until it is filled by Christ living within you. We all live with this God size void until the moment we accept the Savior into our life. The moment you put your faith in him, he came to live within you by his Spirit. You experience, right now, ‘the riches and glory of Christ…and this is the secret: Christ lives in you. This gives you assurance of sharing his glory. (v.27).
Not only is Christ in you, but you are also ‘in Christ’. Paul’s desire is that everyone should grow and mature in this relationship.
