Many years ago I was walking with friends in downtown Chattanooga.  It was late, probably 10 pm.  We were walking to our favorite hangout, The Pickle Barrel.  It was mid-November, and chilly enough for a jacket, but otherwise pleasant.  This was not uncommon to walk at night in downtown Chattanooga.  It was a safe town.

WHAT THE BIBLE SAYS

Colossians 1:10-16

So that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and giving joyful thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of his holy people in the kingdom of light. For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.

The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.
