I have been keeping Jesus small. I have found myself saying things like, "He started as a baby." Fortunately for me, I allowed Scripture to reshape my thinking this week. Inspired by downhere's song, "How Many Kings," I considered what sort of king Jesus is to emphasize the tremendous sacrifice it was for Him to come to earth as a human (much less a baby). But He did NOT "start" as a baby.

Join me in Colossians 1 to put the magnifying glass on just a handful of characteristics of King Jesus.

On this episode I discuss:

• Taking a B.I.T.E. out of Scripture - this week's Bible Interaction Tool Exercises include:
  • Make a list
  • Repetition
• Considering a familiar story from a new perspective
• Jesus was an "unlikely hero"...or was He?
• Jesus is anything but small - Colossians 1:15-20
• Everything in our list was true of the baby lying in a manger
• Jesus was God
• Jesus holds the highest rank
• Jesus created His kingdom
• Before there was anything...King Jesus was
• Jesus is not an uninterested, disconnected King
• Jesus surpasses all others...He is illustrious, renowned, celebrated, and supreme
• So what is our response? Bring gifts that acknowledge WHO He is - Matthew 2:1-11

This Week's Challenge I hope you've been reading the Christmas story over and over this season. If you haven't pulled it out lately, read it again and consider all that Jesus was (even as a baby). Consider this Mighty King that came to earth for you and me. Read Colossians 1:15-20 again and make your own list as a review. Did you catch the BITE of repetition along with the BITE of making a list? Let the truth of God's Word sink in.
