Colossians 2:6 – Jesus as Lord
So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him …
Summary: Accepting Jesus as Lord is important, but Paul challenges us to think about our relationship with Jesus and what it means for our lives.
I love the way Paul writes! His words sound simple and pleasing to the ear, yet when we look at them in detail, there is a vast expanse of meaning behind them.
Take today’s passage, for example:
“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him …” (Colossians 2:6)

Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he had done.
Three Minute Bible has, with a few exceptions, been published seven days a week for about five years now. Times are changing, and so is our mission. As of today, we will be going to a six-day-a-week format.
Thank you for being part of this Bible study! I hope it has blessed you.
