Today's meditation is taken from:
DO WE LOOK FOR ANOTHER?
by Chip Brogden

"You are complete in Him" (Colossians 2:10a).
The real crisis of faith is along the lines of this Man. We can all
disagree over Bible doctrine and interpretations of Scripture. But
what will you do about Jesus? He will not change Who He is to
accommodate Who we think He is. He is Who He is. We either have to
come to grips with Jesus as He in fact is, or we have to settle for
something less or something else. He is the same yesterday, today,
and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
So the question we all have to answer is this: Is Jesus enough? Is He
enough, just as He is? Or do we still need Him to do something else
in order to satisfy us? Intellectually we can say, "Yes, Jesus is
enough. Amen to that. I believe it." But I am surprised at the
growing number of people who are openly suggesting that Jesus really
is not enough for them! We need fellowship, they say. Or we need
God's blessings. Or we need spiritual gifts and more powerful
anointings. To believe that Jesus is Enough (they say) is simply too
mystical, too simplistic, too out-of-touch with the real world - no
matter what Colossians 2:10 says.
