The Akridge Sunday School Class

******Happy Mother's Day to all!******

Brenda shared a quote that could sum up Sunday's lesson:
Jesus Christ is absolutely necessary but absolutely enough!

Colossians 2:8-23 reminds us that there is nothing we can or need to do to earn our salvation. It is only because of what Jesus has done for us that we can stand before God. The reality we have in Christ is that He has connected us to the Father in a spirtual union that only He can hold. And we can rest assured that if He is the holder there is nothing that can separate us!

We must be careful to not let any deceptive philosophy take us captive. In this day and age there are so many thoughts and teachings that sound good, but salvation comes only through the one and true Jesus. We can come to know Him through His word, the Bible. He has given us the treasure of Scripture as life-giving words. Do we treasure these words as "life" or do we see them as a rule book?
