Colossians

Doing my devo this morning this scripture completely blew me away.

"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities-all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making PEACE by the BLOOD OF HIS CROSS. And YOU, who once we ALIENATED and HOSTILE in mind, doing evil deeds, he has NOW RECONCILED in his body of flesh by his death, in order to present you HOLY and BLAMELESS and ABOVE REPROACH before him, if indeed you continue in the faith, stable and steadfast, not shifting from the HOPE OF THE GOSPEL THAT YOU HAVE HEARD, which has been proclaimed in ALL CREATION under heaven, and of which I, Paul, became a minister." Colossians 1:15-23

This seriously blows me away. Doesn't it freak you out that we can stand before God blameless and holy??? Oh my goodness. This only happened because of Jesus making PEACE by the blood he poured out on his cross. His death brought us peace. His death saved us from death...how does that not blow your mind away?!
Mine is blown.
Thank you Jesus.
