FOR ALL OF US

Colossians 4:16

After you have read this letter, pass it on to the church at Laodicea so they can read it, too. And you should read the letter I wrote to them.

It is paramount to be reminded that all the letters of the apostles are for the church in general, none is specific for a particular sect, this is same for all the teachings of Christ and the scriptures in general.

We hear people say/teach that it is for this or that people alone. NO!

Let us get it right, the old testament or the Torah, was scriptures written for the fulfilment of the revealation of Christ, thus its meaning is only revealed through Christ. This is what the Jewish leaders at that time did not understand. Same with religious people and some sects of today, they remain trapped in the ignorance which makes them not able to enjoy the salvation that is in Christ Jesus.

However we must not fall for the same error, for we know that:

2 Timothy 3:15-17

You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus.

All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.

God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.

Glory to God.

For Christ is the fulfilment of the law:

Luke 24:44-45

Then he said, “When I was with you before, I told you that everything written about me in the law of Moses and the prophets and in the Psalms must be fulfilled.”

Then he opened their minds to understand the Scriptures.

So we read not in ignorance but with understanding for we have the Spirit. All bringing glory to the Father. You may not make any meaning with the Torah, if you do not read with the centre figure in mind -Christ Jesus. 

Today I read, I understand, I believe and I become. Glory to God.

He calls us blessed.

Love
