They don’t hold on to the head, from whom the whole body, nourished and held together by its ligaments and tendons, grows with growth from God. (Colossians 2:19)
“They don’t hold on to the head.”
Those words struck me this morning.
I want to hold on to Jesus.
I don’t hold on to Jesus by merely trying to keep a bunch of rules, as if I have somehow need to earn his acceptance. (20-23)
I am already accepted. My certificate of debt was canceled at the cross. (14)
I hold on to Jesus by reminding myself:
- He is good
- He already loves and accepts me.
- He knows and desires my best.
And so with a heart filled with gratitude, I choose to live moment to moment, day to day, believing and following my Lord.
So then, just as you have received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to walk in him, being rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, and overflowing with gratitude. (Colossians 2:6-7)
