Christ Alone

Working through Colossians again this morning – does this ever happen to you?  I was reading through Colossians 2:1 – 15, working through the details in the text and a song started playing in my head, “In Christ Alone.”  It seems to capture Paul’s intent here.

We are covered over each day with information.  Suggestions on how we are to live our lives.  Paul describes that as philosophy, empty deceit, and the traditions of man.  He sets that in stark contrast to the fullness of the riches of understanding and true knowledge of the mysteries of God.  He states that the treasure of wisdom and knowledge are hidden in Christ.  It reminds me that I need to dig deep into that relationship.  My focus needs to be, “In Christ Alone.”
