The apostle calls upon the Colossians to lead lives fully pleasing to the Lord. We can hardly imagine such a thing. We are more likely to think that we are barely pleasing to the Lord. He just tolerates us. But that is not the case. The Father is fully pleased with His Son and we are in the Son.
If we can understand how the Father looks at us, it will enable us to grow in our gratitude and love towards Him which will also inspire us to love and serve Him more fully. His pleasure in us is always in Christ. He sees us in that kind of perfection. So, let us think about, respond to Him in gratitude and seek to walk in a manner worthy of the Father’s love.
