Scripture: Colossians 3:1-17
Colossians 3.1-17 invites us into reality. Since we have been made new in Jesus Christ, it only makes sense to “suit up” for the new life God is fitting us out for! Today we unpack that awesome metaphor: “taking off” the old ways of living and “putting on” the new. It doesn’t happen by joining “team try hard” (based on individual effort). It comes as we participate more deeply in the life-giving power of Jesus at work by his spirit in this community, the church. We need the “y’all” of other people present around us as we pick up the new clothes we “put on” in Christ Jesus.
