Complete

To be truly complete is to find your fulfillment in Jesus—not in the world’s empty promises—but in the peace and purpose only He provides.

“You are complete in Him.”—Colossians 2:10 NKJV

What does it mean to be complete? The Greek word here indicates that nothing more is needed. There is total satisfaction.

Many people spend their lives restlessly seeking this kind of fulfillment in earthly pleasures. They follow the latest fashions and trends, seek new experiences, and experiment with forbidden things. All the while, they never discover the true key to fulfillment and completion.

During their search, some look inward; some look outward, but the Bible tells us the only way to find real completion is in Jesus Christ. Only in Him does life make sense. In Christ, we can find the satisfaction and fulfillment we crave.

When He brings everything into perspective, we finally realize our purpose, for in Him “are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge” (v. 3).

Through Christ, our sins are forgiven, we’re set free from our burdens, and we have access to God’s power and wisdom. We can rest in Him and gain peace and contentment. We can trust Him to meet our needs.

Don’t allow the world to distract you or shape your thoughts and attitudes. Ungodly people may answer life’s questions and offer short-term gratification, but nothing will bring lasting satisfaction and fulfillment—except Jesus. Trust Him.

Reflection Question: Where are you still searching for completion outside of Christ?
