Colossians 3:1-25 (MSG):
1. So if you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ, act like it. Pursue the things over which Christ presides.
2. Don’t shuffle along, eyes to the ground, absorbed with the things right in front of you. Look up, and be alert to what is going on around Christ—that’s where the action is. See things from his perspective.
3. Your old life is dead. Your new life, which is your real life—even though invisible to spectators—is with Christ in God. He is your life.
4. When Christ (your real life, remember) shows up again on this earth, you’ll show up, too—the real you, the glorious you. Meanwhile, be content with obscurity, like Christ.
5. And that means killing off everything connected with that way of death: sexual promiscuity, impurity, lust, doing whatever you feel like whenever you feel like it, and grabbing whatever attracts your fancy. That’s a life shaped by things and feelings instead of by God.
6. It’s because of this kind of thing that God is about to explode in anger.
7. It wasn’t long ago that you were doing all that stuff and not knowing any better.
8. But you know better now, so make sure it’s all gone for good: bad temper, irritability, meanness, profanity, dirty talk.
9. Don’t lie to one another. You’re done with that old life. It’s like a filthy set of ill-fitting clothes you’ve stripped off and put in the fire.
10. Now you’re dressed in a new wardrobe. Every item of your new way of life is custom-made by the Creator, with his label on it. All the old fashions are now obsolete.
11. Words like Jewish and non-Jewish, religious and irreligious, insider and outsider, uncivilized and uncouth, slave and free, mean nothing. From now on everyone is defined by Christ, everyone is included in Christ.
12. So, chosen by God for this new life of love, dress in the wardrobe God picked out for you: compassion, kindness, humility, quiet strength, discipline.
13. Be even-tempered, content with second place, quick to forgive an offense. Forgive as quickly and completely as the Master forgave you.
14. And regardless of what else you put on, wear love. It’s your basic, all-purpose garment. Never be without it.
15. Let the peace of Christ keep you in tune with each other, in step with each other. None of this going off and doing your own thing. And cultivate thankfulness.
16. Let the Word of Christ—the Message—have the run of the house. Give it plenty of room in your lives. Instruct and direct one another using good common sense. And sing, sing your hearts out to God!
17. Let every detail in your lives—words, actions, whatever—be done in the name of the Master, Jesus, thanking God the Father every step of the way.
18. Wives, understand and support your husbands by submitting to them in ways that honor the Master.
19. Husbands, go all out in love for your wives. Don’t take advantage of them.
20. Children, do what your parents tell you. This delights the Master no end.
21. Parents, don’t come down too hard on your children or you’ll crush their spirits.
22. Servants, do what you’re told by your earthly masters. And don’t just do the minimum that will get you by. Do your best.
23. Work from the heart for your real Master, for God,
24. confident that you’ll get paid in full when you come into your inheritance. Keep in mind always that the ultimate Master you’re serving is Christ.
25. The sullen servant who does shoddy work will be held responsible. Being Christian doesn’t cover up bad work.
I prayed for a word and I was given this chapter last night, alongside the book of Proverbs. The whole Bible is Jesus. All of him. You cannot parcel out The Almighty.
Last night was a familiar struggle that God gave the ointment for as soon as I asked, by the power of his Holy Spirit. No other god, no other spirit can restore a human being to the Father. Jesus is his Son and fully God and the CHOICE of the Father to care for mankind. Jesus paid the price of salvation for all, with his own blood. He became a man for us to fulfill the law and to walk in our shoes, being the humble leader he is.It is by Faith that we are saved. We continue through faith until we see him and are complete. The process of sanctification is an individual refining process that is held by grace. Mercy catches you and triumphs over judgement. A relationship with Jesus Christ is made possible by him, kept by him and eternal in duration. Hallelujah! Many changes will continue and peace is our portion.
