Today is Monday, August 12, 2019, and here is your Daily Devo. Paul's letter to the Colossians reminds us not to look up to anything besides Christ for ultimate meaning and purpose. Only in Christ does the fullness of God dwell. Only through Christ do idols and so-called gods lose their power and appeal.
Only in Christ do we discover why we are here. We discover that what we've been searching for in pleasure, approval, power, and comfort is actually found in him. He is better, and he is enough. Jesus really is better.
He speaks a better word. He tells a better story. He offers a better answer to why we are here. Let us give our lives to helping the world know and trust this God who made us for himself and who alone provides the answer to why we are here.
Think about this. What are some things you turn to for meaning and purpose? Why do these fail? How would you explain to a friend that Jesus is better than all these things?
