Colossians 1:23 (The Message)
21-23You yourselves are a case study of what he does. At one time you all had your backs turned to God, thinking rebellious thoughts of him, giving him trouble every chance you got. But now, by giving himself completely at the Cross, actually dying for you, Christ brought you over to God's side and put your lives together, whole and holy in his presence. You don't walk away from a gift like that! You stay grounded and steady in that bond of trust, constantly tuned in to the Message, careful not to be distracted or diverted. There is no other Message—just this one. Every creature under heaven gets this same Message. I, Paul, am a messenger of this Message.
This came up in our lectionary reading yesterday and how relevant it is for us.
The evil one is ready to distract us from the truth of the gospel and divert us from a life lived with God.
But we must keep on - God has not changed - the truth and reality of the gospel has not changed.
TFTD: Do not stop what God has started in you.
Have a good day,
Peter Clark.
