Colossians 1:24–29 prepares us for the second serial reading in morning public worship on the coming Lord’s Day. In these six verses of Holy Scripture, the Holy Spirit teaches us how Christ’s exaltation in glory marvelously connects to the nitty gritty details of believers’ everyday lives on earth.(click here to DOWNLOAD mp3/pdf files of this lesson)
