It was at this time that an old song came to mind: 'Take the whole world, but give me Jesus!' In that I found comfort because although human beings or circumstances may be able to take from you what is dear and precious, they cannot take your Saviour, Jesus, from you. I had lost my own earthly father, all we had sowed our lives into was being removed and every promise seemed to be betrayed in front of our very eyes. I remember a time in my own life when it felt as if everything was being stripped away. True peace can only be a reality when birthed through our union with Him. True fulfillment only comes through our union with Him. Don't doubt or try to second guess this truth. The apostle unmistakably affirms that the Divine nature, in its entirety, belongs to Christ. So you are also complete through your union with Christ, who is the head over every ruler and authority.' (New Living Translation) Let what He did and said and what the Word of God says be your persuasion.Ĭolossians 2:9-10 'For in Christ lives all the fullness of God in a human body. It is error! Let Him be your final authority. Don't be deceived by any form of argument or fancy reasoning. Other ideas will try to reduce Him to the Son of God but not God. Other beliefs will try to reduce Him to just a good man. Other religions will try to reduce Him to a prophet. The world will do everything in its power to dilute or reduce Christ. What is their aim? To draw us away from Christ Jesus. I love the phrase: 'Don't let anyone capture you.' What are the things that can deceive us? There is a danger that we can be deceived. Colossians 2:8 'Don't let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.' (New Living Translation)
