He has reconciled you.

I've had a good sabbath day.  A nice mix of rest, ministry, & a little homemaking.

I was just reading the chunk of Colossians that we'll be covering tomorrow at church.

And being moved by it.

you were at one time strangers and enemies 
in your minds
as expressed 

through your evil deeds

but now
but now
but now

he has reconciled you
he 
has reconciled 
you

by his physical body through death

to present you 
to present you

holy, 
without blemish,
and blameless
before him

holy, 
without blemish,
and blameless
before him 

– if indeed you remain in the faith, 
established 
and firm, 

without shifting 
from the hope
the hope  
of the gospel that you heard.
