Last night we had Bible Study at our place. It was fun - Raegan made breakfast for everyone. Good stuff.

We started Colossians last night. We only made it through the first 16 verses or so, and even then we barely scratched the surface. There’s so much love expressed in the first 10 verses… it was blowing my mind. Paul simply heard about their love for Christ, and then was burdened with a love for them, and started praying for them continually. And the things he prayed for are awesome. Knowledge of God’s will, with wisdom and spiritual understanding.

So then, Paul heads into this amazing description of Christ. Jesus is the firstborn of creation, the express image of the invisible God. Wow. sledgehammer driving the Truth home. Then a discourse into how Jesus is over all authorities, whether seen or unseen, human, angelic, demonic. They all will submit to Christ. They all bring glory to Christ. *pfft* That’s the sound of my mind being blown. erm, what’s that now? me no understand. Christ is at right hand of God, but is God, but dwells in us, Created everything, was the reason things were created, etc. Good stuff.

I think I will be studying this section more. Ties in nicely with first four verses of Heb 1 also. I think I’m going to enjoy this book.
