churchjanitor:
I’ve been reading Colossians and I thought I’d share a few of my thoughts about the text.
First, I love how Paul condenses the whole truth about Jesus. Paul rightly says that Christ existed before all things and that everything was made through Jesus. Then, Christ’s sacrifice is detailed and his…
