Where do you stand?
Wednesday August 8th, Colossians 3: 9-11 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. 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. 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. Every time we draw a line in the sand, Jesus is on the other side. Every time we build a fence, whether it be literal or with the new building material, paperwork, to keep people out, we shut ourselves off from the savior. Every time we go to war, the ones killed, on both sides, are the children of God. Every weapon that is produced steals bread from the mouth of hungry. Every morsel of bread that is shared, is shared with Christ.
