We’re all called to mature our faith. Paul’s letter is a roadmap to

maturity. In his introduction he sets out the foundations for the journey.

The starting point is the grace of Jesus (1:2), the supreme authority in

life and the universe. The Colossians have truly understood grace (1:6) and

so must we. Let us not water it down or compromise it. Because the degree

to which become experts in the full knowledge and understating of grace is

the degree to which we are able to let Jesus’ supremacy rule over our whole

lives. In turn, the more we allow Jesus to reign supreme the more our lives

will reflect his character and the more we will mature. Jesus is the

beginning, middle and end of the journey.
