Christ is Supreme

1.

Today's Passage: Colossians 1:15-23

Get to know your bible. It will become a good friend.

Or find the passage NASB version on Bible Gateway here.
You can search for other versions there as well. Versions even in foreign languages.

Or, for your convenience I have typed the verses below from the
New Living Testament (NLT).


Thank You for meeting us, LORD.
We welcome you into this place.

15. Christ is the visible image of the invisible God.  
He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, 
16. for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth.  
He made the things we can see and the things we can't see ⏤such as thrones,  
kingdoms, rulers, and authorities in the unseen world. Everything was created  
through him and for him.  
17. He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together.  
18. Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning,  
supreme over all who rise from the dead. So he is first in everything. 
19. For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, 
20. and through him God reconciled everything to himself.  
He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means  
of Christ's blood on the cross. 

21. This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies,  
separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions.  
22. Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his  
physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence,  
and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.  

23. But you must continue to believe this truth and stand firmly in it.  
Don't drift away from the assurance you received when you heard the Good News.  
The Good News has been preached all over the world, and I, Paul,  
have been appointed as God's servant to proclaim it.  
Colossians 1:15-23 NLT

8th strategy.
Choose three important verses that speak to you today.

• Begin by getting your heart ready to receive the words that God has laid down for us on this page. Ask Him to give you what you need to hear. Ask Him to give you the mind of Christ to be able to remember this strategy and continue it throughout the day.
• Read the passage completely.
• After reading the first time go back and chose the three most important verses that speak to you today.
• Ask God to bring those verses back to you through out the day.
• Find out if by the end of the day only one verse has been thought about more than the others.
• Thank God for that verse.
• This is a good strategy to use for long passages.
• Be sure to stop and thank God for being here with you today.

Thank You Dearest LORD,
These verses touch each of us in different ways.
We have read them, heard them, believed them.
Place these verses into the very depth of our souls and
allow us to walk in thankful gratitude as we move through our days.
Thank you LORD,
You are here and You have saved.
In your name we pray,
Yehoshua,
Amen.
