Maturity in Jesus

Are you still growing in your knowledge of Jesus and in your relationship with him? Would you consider yourself fully mature in your relationship with Jesus?

As followers of Jesus we are students of God and his word. We are always growing in our knowledge of him and in our relationship with him. We are to immerse ourselves in the wisdom of God and in the knowledge of God to become fully mature in Him.

The Apostle Paul wrote the church in Colossae, saying, “God chose to make known how great among the Gentiles are the riches of the glory of this mystery, which is Christ in you, the hope of glory. Him we proclaim, warning everyone and teaching everyone with all wisdom, that we may present everyone mature in Christ. For this I toil, struggling with all his energy that he powerfully works within me.” (Colossians 1:27-29, ESV).

It was the high calling and the ultimate goal of the Apostle Paul to proclaim Jesus, to teach, and to impart the wisdom of God to everyone—to present everyone fully mature in Jesus. Paul worked tirelessly with all his might to help others to grow and to become mature in their relationship with Jesus.

May we follow God’s design for us to become fully mature in our relationship with Jesus.

The Collect for The Sixth Sunday after Pentecost, or the Fifth Sunday after Trinity (Proper 11): “O God, you declare your almighty power chiefly in showing mercy and pity: Grant us the fullness of your grace, that we, running to obtain your promises, may become partakers of your heavenly treasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.” (Book of Common Prayer, 2019).
