Eight kids in and I still have never succeeded convincing a young child of mine of their future love of naps.  A good nap seems to be the bane of childhood existence.  Even once they resolve that it is definitely happening and there will be no negotiation, they want to express their displeasure in some form.  Then I tell each one the truth; some day you are going to love a good nap.  Also, without a good nap now, you are a very different kind of child.  The nap is good for you NOW and you’ll appreciate that later on.  You don’t have to believe me, it’s still true. This is how I often feel explaining the beauty of life in Christ to the immature believer; you depend on it now in ways you do not comprehend, and you’ll grow to appreciate it in ways you cannot imagine.  This Sunday we wrap up our study in Paul’s letter to the Colossians.  Paul gives a brief run down of the implications of Christ’s life in us.  It is so simple and so stunning.  Pastor Dr. Aaron Weisser
