Christ All Sufficient: An Exposition of Colossians (Hedges)
A thousand schemes and to-do lists may threaten to enslave you, but Christ died to free you from them, and he is enough.
Paul’s letter to the Colossians is short, but it delivers a roundhouse kick to religion as it reveals the complete and inexhaustible sufficiency of Jesus Christ. Jesus really is everything we need! Paul reveled in the good news that had captured his heart. He never got over it and never moved beyond it. He knew that no one could advance beyond the essential message of the crucified, risen, and exalted Christ. And he didn’t want anyone to retreat from it.
Who should read this book?
- Pastors, seminary students, Sunday school teachers, and small group leaders who want a Christ-focused, gospel-rich study of Colossians
- Anyone weary of the hard yoke of legalism or the empty promises of man-made religion
- Anyone thirsty for the simple, life-transforming truth that all we need is found in Christ alone
