Have you ever spent hours (or let's be real, days) working on a puzzle, only to feel that rush of satisfaction when you finally fit in the last piece? It’s like a mini-celebration of completion. But here’s the thing - isn't life kind of like that too? We’re all on this quest, looking for that one piece that’ll make everything click into place.
Maybe you've been there, too - trying to fill in your own life’s gaps with achievements, discipline, and even outward displays of righteousness. It’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking, "If only I could be more of this or that, then I’d feel complete." But let’s pause for a moment and ask ourselves: do these things truly fill that void? Here’s where the Apostle Paul’s letter to the Colossians hits home. Paul's addressing a church struggling with false teachings, ones that promised a secret knowledge for a complete life. But Paul's message is crystal clear: it’s not about secret knowledge or self-discipline. It’s about Jesus! Full stop. He’s the perfect fit for our missing piece. When everything else feels temporary or unfulfilling, Christ offers us a completeness that’s eternal and unshakeable. So, how does this play out in our daily lives?
In a world that's constantly selling us the next "big thing" for fulfillment, let’s remember that our true completeness is found in a relationship with Christ. It's not about being more or doing more; it's about being more in Him. So, next time you’re feeling incomplete, remember: Jesus is the piece you’ve been looking for all along. 🧩✨ - Adapted from sermons preached across our 3 campuses on 12/31/23
