Ray taught on Colossians today. He showed us a bowl of ice cream and told us it was Jesus. He asked us, is this enough of it's own? He decided not, and so added toppings, yum we thought, toppings are great! Then he produced a bunch of toppings that were not what we had in mind... ketup, tabasco, pepper, etc. He mixed it all on and asked if anyone wanted a taste!
This what the church in Colossae did to their salvation. They had accepted Jesus but then mixed in a bit of all the other religions that were in their city, the mystic religions and cults. Paul tells them no, Christ is IN all and above all and he dwells in You!
Ray left us with the challenge... Do you add anything to Jesus, to your salvation? Is Jesus alone enough for you or are you adding more to it.
Jesus +______=Salvation
He also spoke about value as a child of God, the simplicity of being.
It was amazing.
