Ready to Rescue Day 18

19 For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross.

Praise God, the Father, for sending His Son, Jesus, who is God, because without Him there would be no reconciliation. Repent for for substituting the way and wisdom of this world for Him. Ask for a heart that wants to experience His peace in your daily life.  Yield your old life to experience the new life that God offers through Jesus.

Read Colossians 1:15-20

• What does it say about who Jesus is?
• What implications does Jesus being head over the church have for the people in the church?
• Why do we need to be reconciled with God?
• Why Jesus is the only one who can reconcile the created world—and all of humankind—to God?

We are encouraging everyone that can to join us in fasting from after dinner on Thursday until dinner on Friday. If you cannot fast from food, consider fasting from something else for this time each week (television, video games, social media, shopping). Here are some good resources on fasting: https://www.desiringgod.org/topics/fasting.
