As I read my Bible Study Adoration at the Manger this morning, it directed me to Colossians 1:12-20. My heart was blessed and lifted as I read who Jesus is. I had to stop and just reflect on Him for a bit. He is more than the babe in a manger. Look at what it says about Him.
“12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light: 13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son: 14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins: 15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.”

As I read the Scripture, my heart overflowed. Take a moment today to reflect on Jesus and realize how amazing He is! Oh, what a Savior!
