I, Paul, have been sent on special assignment by Christ as part of God’s master plan. Together with my friend Timothy, I greet the Christians and stalwart followers of Christ who live in Colosse. May everything good from God our Father be yours! Colossians 1:1-2
I’m working on Colossians, one of my resolutions. I started thinking about “Everything good” and created this visual to give it some legs.
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. 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! 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.
THE MESSAGE IS AS TRUE AMONG YOU TODAY AS WHEN YOU FIRST HEARD IT. IT DOESN’T DIMINISH OR WEAKEN OVER TIME. IT’S THE SAME ALL OVER THE WORLD. [COL.1]
Woke up with my mind racing. One thing you can’t miss being here at the Missionary Learning Center is the fact that it is based on one single thing. The Message of Christ. It’s all over the walls. It’s all they talk about. It’s the whole reason we are here: Living and spreading the message. So much so that if The Message turned out to be some fairy tale or lie, then all this would be in vain, a waste. That’s how I want my life to be. I want to live this life, live the Message in a such a way that my whole life will have been wasted if this Message turns out to be phony.
