Why does Paul seem to be so fixated on Jesus’ death on the cross?


How open are you to more deeply embracing the free gift that Jesus offered by his death?


How does Paul describe the lives of the Colossians prior to their acceptance of the gospel?


Describe the change that they experience in their lives because of Jesus’ spiritual revolution.


Why does Jesus’ death have this kind of enormous effect on upon them?


According to this passage, what is our part in receiving the free gift of the gospel?


How does your life need to change because of what Jesus has done for you?


How does the reality of what Jesus has done for us impact your emotions towards God?
