Colossians 2:1-23
For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and … in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision performed without hands … having been buried with Him in baptism … you were also raised with Him …And … He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our wrongdoings… (vv. 9-13, NASB, edited). The paragraph goes on to say more about what Jesus has done, but I have only included/highlighted those phrases that make it more personal for us, the “in Him” and “with Him” phrases. Reading through the whole passage again with those phrases in mind we come to more fully realize what Jesus has done for us, personally, especially buried, raised, made alive, and forgiven. I’m picturing myself in the tomb with Him, being raised with Him when He was raised, and living now with Him. Notice what I have left out. I am not on the cross with Him; He did that Himself, alone, for us. There’s really nothing more to say.
