It’s amazing how often Christians miss the whole point. It’s right there in the word “Christian,” but somehow we miss the “Christ” part. We obsess over religious rules, or we run after emotional experiences, or we use faith to advance a personal or political agenda. In his Letter to the Colossians, Paul brings us back to the core: the simplicity of walking with Jesus. It starts with knowing who he is, what he’s done, and who he says we are. It’s so simple, but it changes the way we view ourselves…the way we worship…the way we treat people…and everything else that matters.
