You can take a single of strand of yarn that is not very strong, and make something that is superstrong! The person who knits will take yarn, thread it through the hook, and start knitting. When the product is done, like a blanket, it can be used because the single strand of yarn has been knitted together, twisted together, and has become strong. Paul tells the church at Colosse he wants them to be encouraged and knit together by the love of Christ. We need to be involved in one another’s lives so we can be knitted together.

Why does he say this? From the very beginning of the letter, Paul has reminded the church at Ephesus that all our blessings, everything we have, the right standing we have with God the Father, all comes through Jesus. He has been talking about the unity we have and how we should throw off the desires of the flesh and continue to strive for maturity in Christ and unity. He breaks down the family unit describing how to keep unity because it creates strength. When we get our eyes off Jesus and onto our situations, onto ourselves, and we try to handle things ourselves, we'll discover quickly that we cannot and we really do need one another. Why? Because we encourage one another to stay focused on Jesus...where we ALL get our strength from. strength, strong, unity, union, Lord, Jesus, mature, maturity Paul says in vs10 to "Be strong in the Lord."

The Bible says a lot about pride and it's not good. What is good on their other hand is humility which is the opposite of pride. We are told to be people of humility and Jesus was our model to follow. Paul discusses humility here in chapter 12 and he also talks about unity. There is power in unity and we see this idea all through scripture from the Tower of Babel in Genesis to the united church in Acts. Humility and unity are two things we as Christ followers need to practice and that is what Paul urges the church in Rome to do. humility, humble, unity, church, power, strength, pride, destruction Pride.
