Colossians 3

Christ lives in all of us. This truth is what spoke to me this morning in the reading. But before He can dwell there, there are a few things to put away:

“v8 ...now is the time to get rid of anger, rage, malicious behavior, slander, and dirty language. 9 Do not lie to each other...” All characteristics we now know are not from God. When we see this, regardless of the message or act being delivered, we can recognize it as not Christ-like.
BUT, Christ does look like this:

“v12 Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. 13 Make allowance for each other's faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. 14 ABOVE ALL, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony. 15 And let the peace that comes from Christ rule in your hearts. For as members of one body you are called to live in peace. And always be thankful.”

We are called to LIVE IN PEACE in Christ. Jesus is all that matters. Jesus is the only One Who can cause us to put away our old behaviors and empower us to live out His reflection. His Spirit within us and shining through us is where HIS LOVE will be seen.
​

Lord, rise up in every soul reading this, today. Help us to put aside what is not a reflection of YOU and empower us by Your Spirit to let Your love reign in our hearts for You and others.
