Daily Reading - Colossians 2:6-15 

Discussion & Reflection: Jesus embodied the very nature of God and paid the ultimate price for our sins so that we may dwell with God. This sacrifice made the way for us to walk with the Lord and rule and reign in his kingdom. In verse 6, Paul breaks down what it means to receive Jesus, “6 Therefore, as you received Christ Jesus the Lord, so walk in him, 7 rooted and built up in him and established in the faith, just as you were taught, abounding in thanksgiving.” What does it mean to “walk in him”? How can we be established in our faith even when it doesn’t make sense?
