Hold Onto Truth - Part 3

In the bustling town of Colossae, a place of diverse cultures, religions, and philosophies, the early Christians found themselves facing a barrage of outside influences that sought to sway their beliefs. False teachers attempted to poison their faith, propagating distorted views of Jesus Christ. Yet, amidst this spiritual turmoil, the apostle Paul chose a strategic approach to address the challenge. Instead of engaging in fruitless arguments, Paul crafted his defense by focusing on the preeminence and supremacy of Christ. In his letter to the Colossians, Paul paints a powerful portrait of Jesus, the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation, the Creator, and the Head of the Church. By understanding who Jesus truly is, we can find strength for our past, hope for our future, and empowerment for our present. Today, as we delve into Paul's wisdom, we learn that the best defense against falsehood is a great offense built on the unshakable truth of Christ.
