Good morning Beloved Brethren,

Topic: JESUS HOLDS US TOGETHER
Text: Read: Colossians 1:17
Daily Bible Study: Num. 9-10; Mk. 4

“And he is before all things, and by him all things consist” (Col. 1:17).

Glue is usually applied thinly unto two surfaces to bind them together; without that glue, both surfaces will not stick together. The glue is what links and bonds them. Jesus is our Saviour, Redeemer and King; He is also the link between us and God our heavenly Father. It is Christ who reconciles sinful and imperfect men as we are to a Holy and righteous God – His blood cleanses us from all our unrighteousness. Jesus is the reason we can come to God the Father with confidence to pray and request help for needs, and also have good standing for eternity. Jesus unites all true believers with a common faith and bond that binds us all to God our Father.

We cannot pray enough, read enough or minister enough to keep our relationship with God intact, but through Christ we can. Through Jesus, God gives us the grace that supports and keeps us going, despite the storms of life. Christ Jesus is the reason we can even hope for an eternal life with God our Creator.
Sometimes we feel lost, empty and hopeless as we battle to overcome adversity and become tempted to take a new direction. At that point, we should turn to Christ knowing that we cannot do without Him; we should surrender our lives completely over to Him. His words and teachings are there to guide us, His grace covers us and His blood cleanses us.

Prayer:   Dear Lord Jesus, thank You for sacrificing Your life for us. Help us to submit to Your will and keep us connected to God always, we pray in Your holy name – Amen.
