It’s All About Jesus (3 of 7)
Series: The Image of the Invisible

Colossians 2:1-7
I. Introduction
I want to talk to you today about the secret to experiencing everything Jesus said was possible in a relationship with him.
And I’ll just tell you right up front: it’s not much of a secret. It’s actually front-and-center, all over the Bible, but it feels like it must be a secret because a lot of us aren’t experiencing everything Jesus said was possible in a relationship with him.
• Jesus said, ‘‘Come to me all you who are weary and burdened and I will give you rest.’’ (Mat 11:28) but a lot of us are tired.

If you’re just joining us, let me get you caught up real quick. The book of Colossians was written by the Apostle Paul to a group of Jesus’ followers living in the Roman city of Colossae. And he was basically writing to tell them to keep their eyes on Jesus. And the reason he was writing to tell them that was because there were some other people telling them, ‘‘Hey, Jesus is great, don’t get me wrong...Jesus is great...but if you want to have real spiritual power, if you want to be truly spiritual, there are other things you have to do, other secre ...
