Col. 2:6-10 (NIV)

So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ. For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and in Christ you have been brought to fullness. He is the head over every power and authority.

Reflection:

These verses declare the fullness we have in Christ Jesus. There is nothing sweeter, nothing more we really need. Nothing can truly satisfy us more than Him. By God’s grace and through the power of the Spirit, we have received Christ, the very fullness of Him. In light of this, we are to embrace and celebrate this fullness by continuing to live lives that become rooted and built in Him, guarding our hearts from deceptive philosophies, and overflowing with thankfulness. We can depend upon Christ because He is the head over every power and authority!

Response:

The truth is that we have already been given much. All we have to do now is to live it out. Let’s offer up prayers of thanksgiving to God because we have Christ and can now live rooted and built up in Him, lacking nothing.
