Today was another great Lord’s Day as we gathered to celebrate at the Lord’s table together. Today’s sermon was entitled Christ: All from Colossians 3:11. The basic idea in the sermon was that as people who have put on the new man and are being renewed in knowledge in conformity to Christ, we shouldn’t be governed by earthly distinctions. All that matters is Christ and He indwells all.
This has profound implications for how we posture ourselves toward one another in the body of Christ. If earthly distinctions like religious (Jew/Greek, circumcised/uncircumcised), cultural (barbarian, Scythian), and social (slave/free) separation are done away with, what does it say for the capricious ways we exalt ourselves toward each other. Christ should be all that matter. He indwells us all and that should affect us all.
Hope you had a good Lord’s Day and enjoy small groups tonight.
