Episode 15: Colossians 3

Today's meditation is based on Colossian 3 from The Passion Translation

Christ's resurrection is my resurrection, too. This is why I yearn for all that is above for that's where Christ sits enthroned at the place of all power, honor, and authority. I feast on all the treasures of the heavenly realm, and fill my thoughts with heavenly realities and not with the distractions of the natural realm.

My crucifixion with Christ has severed the ties to this life, and as Christ Himself is seen for who He really is, who I really am will also be revealed. For I am now one with Him in His glory. I live as one who has died to every form of sin and impurity. I live as one who has died to diseases and desires for forbidden things and to greed, which is the essence of idol worship. I eliminate from my life once and for all, anger, fits of rage, all forms of hatred, cursing, filthy speech, and lying. I lay aside my old self with its masquerade and disguise.

I have acquired new creation life, which is continually being renewed into the likeness of the One who created me, giving me the full revelation of God. In this new creation life. My nationality, ethnicity, education, and economic status don't matter. They mean nothing, because it is Christ living in me, that means everything.

I am always dearly loved by God. So I robe myself with the virtue of God. Since I have been divinely chosen to be holy. I am merciful, as I endeavor to understand others, and am compassionate, showing kindness toward all. I am gentle and humble and unoffendable in my patience with others. I tolerate their weakness and forgive, in the same way, I have been graciously forgiven by Jesus Christ.

If I find fault with someone, I release the same gift of forgiveness to them. For love is supreme, and must flow through all these virtues. Love becomes the mark of my true maturity. My heart is always guided by the peace of the Anointed One, who called me to peace, as part of his one body.

I am always thankful. I let the word of Christ live in me richly, flooding me with all wisdom. Holy Spirit gives me spontaneous prophetic songs that I sing to God with all my heart.

Every activity of my life, and every word that comes from my lips, is drenched with the beauty of our Lord Jesus the anointed one. I bring my constant praise to God the Father because of what Christ has done for me. I am faithful in all things as I live my life with a pure heart in the constant awe and wonder of our Lord God.

I put my heart and soul into every activity I do, as though I am doing it for the Lord himself and not merely for others. I know that I will receive a reward and inheritance from the Lord, as I serve Yahweh, the anointed one. I know that God doesn't pay attention to titles or prestige. I will be repaid for what I have learned, and followed as a faithful disciple of Christ.
