The Pastoral Heart

The pastor heart of Paul was laid bare in this scripture as he struggled in prayer for three important requests for the church in Colossae.

Christ is Lord of His Church, as well as the rightful Ruler of the Universe.

This sinful world is storing up judgment that will be fierce, but for those who have surrendered to the King of kings, the future is glorious.

All kingdoms of this world, no matter how great, are tarnished by sin and injustice because humanity is corrupted by sin.

As God proves himself holy and sovereign and carries out judgment on sinful humanity, surely we will glorify God.

It seems audacious to say, to hope, to believe…, but Jesus lives eternally to make intercession for me and you.

Suffering for Jesus does not mark us as under God's displeasure; suffering enables us to share in Christ!

The exact imprint of God's nature welcomes us… and expects us… to be changed by his grace so that we are an imitation of God's holiness?!

We are commissioned by the King to go out and share the truth: Jesus is King!
