It's the end of the work week, but the beginning of the much anticipated Winter Olympics in Vancouver. I always love watching the Olympics, and will especially enjoy watching my favorite sport, Figure Skating. I look forward to being motivated by the evidence of the dedication and hard work of the athletes, and hopefully, impressed by the sportsmanship of those from all over the world, with peace and goodwill towards one another. With the Opening Ceremonies tonight, I expect that for the next couple of weeks, I will be "glued" to my television each night watching the Olympics.
However, as I was preparing for Bible Study this week in Colossians 2, I was once again reminded of what is truly worthy of our sacrifice and hard work - for the apostle Paul, it was his ministry, even to those he has never met personally. The key verse in the passage is: "
For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form, and you have been given fullness in Christ, who is the head over every power and authority." (vs 9). There is nothing apart from Christ that we need to be spiritually alive. In HIM, we have been given everything in full. So true!
