Hidden Treasure: Rescued [Reconciled] by Jesus

Colossians 1:19-22 | For God in all his fullness was pleased to live in Christ, and through him God reconciled everything to himself. He made peace with everything in heaven and on earth by means of Christ’s blood on the cross. This includes you who were once far away from God. You were his enemies, separated from him by your evil thoughts and actions. Yet now he has reconciled you to himself through the death of Christ in his physical body. As a result, he has brought you into his own presence, and you are holy and blameless as you stand before him without a single fault.

• Over the last few days, we’ve seen that Jesus gave everything to rescue you. According to Colossians 1, why do we need rescuing?

• Something is reconciled when differences are resolved and harmony or peace is reached. How can a person be reconciled or have peace with God?

• Are you an enemy of God or at peace with Him? How do you know?

• After a person follows Jesus, they still mess up and sin. How then is it possible that they stand in God’s presence blameless and without fault?
