“And having been buried with Him in baptism, you were raised with Him through your faith in the power of God, who raised Him from the dead.” – Colossians 2:12

11th March 2025 From the book of Acts, we observe that whenever a person believed in Christ, they would be baptized as a public expression of a spiritual truth that had taken place in their lives (Acts 2:38; 8:12; 8:36-38; 9:17-18; 10:47-48; 16:14-15; 16:30-33). They were declaring that they identified with Christ’s death on the […]

“In Him you were also circumcised, in the putting off of your sinful nature, with the circumcision performed by Christ and not by human hands. …” – Colossians 2:11

10th March 2025 Circumcision was a sign of the covenant that God made with Abraham and his physical descendants (Genesis 17:9-11). Over the years, though the descendants were physically circumcised, their hearts remained wicked and distant from God. Indeed, like the rest of us, they were unable, through their own efforts, to put away the

“And you have been made complete in Christ…” – Colossians 2:10

9th March 2025 As humans, we tend to measure our lives by comparing them with others. We feel happy when our accomplishments, appearance, and lifestyle seem better than our neighbour’s. However, the moment someone achieves something greater than us, we are left feeling inadequate and incomplete.  Our stability doesn’t come from our abilities but from

“For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity dwells in bodily form…” – Colossians 2:9

8th March 2025 Explaining the humanity and divinity of Christ is no easy task for mere humans. Simply stated, He is both 100% God and 100% man. Some of His disciples had a momentary glimpse of this on the Mount of Transfiguration. Yet, on this side of eternity, our minds still struggle to fully comprehend

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy…” – Colossians 2:8

7th March 2025 Philosophy, in its literal sense, means the love of wisdom. More broadly, it encompasses the various activities that people undertake to understand the world, humanity, and relationships. Ironically, much of the philosophy we encounter today is empty and foolish. It sounds intelligent, sophisticated and appealing to our mind and senses, yet it

“Rooted and built up in Him, established in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” – Colossians 2:7

6th March 2025 A sapling stuck in a pot will never have the chance to grow into the tree it was meant to be unless its roots are given the opportunity to delve deeper into life-nourishing soil. Only when it is planted in fertile ground, and its hidden roots grow deeper, does it begin to

“Therefore, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in Him.” – Colossians 2:6

How can the apostle Paul, languishing in prison, be present with the children of God in distant Colossae? He is not merely saying, “I am thinking about you.” Rather, he is talking about a strong spiritual connection that is only possible through the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.  All of us who wholeheartedly believes in

“I am telling you this so no one will deceive you with well-crafted arguments.” – Colossians 2:4

Imagine a debate about whether a certain poison is good or bad for health. In this debate, those who speak in favor of the poison present a stronger case and appear to have won. However, the truth of the matter is that anyone convinced by the well-crafted, well-presented argument and decides to drink the poison

“…that they may know the mystery of God, namely Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” – Colossians 2:2-3

The Bible says that in the last days, there will be an exponential rise in knowledge (Daniel 12:4), and people will be in a never-ending pursuit of learning yet unable to come to the knowledge of the truth (2 Timothy 3:7). There has never been a time more reflective of this biblical prophecy than the
