In Paul’s letter to the Colossians (⁠Colossians 1:15-23)⁠ he presents Jesus

as so attractive as to be utterly compelling. We’re called to do something

similar, in our similarly pluralistic context of Los Angeles: to present

Jesus as he is--unapologetically the center of the universe.

Jesus is the one everyone is looking for: he’s the only one who fully

satisfies us, the only one who is supreme over us, and the only one who

continues to sustain us. In a world that is so obviously broken and in

pain, let us invite everyone we know to meet him; the one who makes us

whole. He’s fantastic.
