Colossians 1:15-22 | Rev. Dr. R. Brandon Harris | Our world is wrecked because we are wrecked, individually. That's why Jesus' first call to each of us is "repent," not
"love your neighbor." Therefore, how we deal with our own sin and brokenness (or how God deals with it!) is a a crucial aspect of how God's mission of reconciliation takes root in our lives.
