Each morning during our time in Mexico our Mission Team from Springboro along with 12 Christians from Tennessee would read a Bible passage together as we prepared our hearts and minds for the day ahead. On our first day we read about the Supremacy of Christ recorded in the Bible in the 1st chapter of Colossians.
Listen to this beautiful description of the person of Jesus Christ:
Christ is the visible image of the invisible God. He existed before anything was created and is supreme over all creation, for through him God created everything in the heavenly realms and on earth. … He existed before anything else, and he holds all creation together. Christ is also the head of the church, which is his body. He is the beginning, supreme over all who rise from the dead. … The Good News has been preached all over the world. Colossians 1:15-16, 17-18, 23 NLT
It was very encouraging on our first full day in Mexico to worship Christ with a group of Mexican believers that although we did not share a common language, we did share a common faith in Christ. One of the few phrases that I was able to understand from the songs that we sang together was the phrase … “Jesu Christo Es El Señor.”
For you fellow gringos that simply means “Jesus Christ is the LORD!”
