“Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit,
according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles
of the world, and not according to
Christ.”
-COLOSSIANS 2:8
If
by the end of today there is less of me and more of Jesus then I am
growing. Otherwise I am not. Jesus must become greater and greater in my
life, and I must become lesser and lesser. This is the Path. Along this
Path towards apprehending Christ as All in all, there are many
pitfalls, snares, hindrances, and detours.
Thus,
Paul says we are to be on our guard and let no man cheat us. In this
context, the word “cheat” means, “to destroy and strip of one’s
possessions; to deprive of something valuable by force.” Each believer
has an incredible fullness and completeness in the Person of Jesus
Christ. Christ is THE Gift of God, the ultimate Gift, and this Gift is
precious, valuable, and of great worth.
