Colossians 3 ~ Word of Christ

Colossians 3

3 If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. 2 Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth. 

 put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

11 Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all.

12 Put on then, as God's chosen ones,

holy and beloved, 

compassionate hearts, 

kindness, 

humility,

 meekness, 

and patience, 

13 bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, 

forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, 

so you also must forgive. 

14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.

 

16 Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. 

17 And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

with sincerity of heart, fearing the Lord. 

23 Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men, 24 knowing that from the Lord you will receive the inheritance as your reward. You are serving the Lord Christ.

The Shepherds encountered this:

1 Corinthians 15

57 But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

And once the Shepherds were changed and had seen Glory of God in the Highest.

Luke 2

The shepherds said to one another, “Let’s go to Bethlehem and see this thing that has happened, which the Lord has told us about.”

16 So they hurried off and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby, who was lying in the manger. 17 When they had seen him, they spread the word concerning what had been told them about this child, 18 and all who heard it were amazed at what the shepherds said to them. 19 But Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart. 20 The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things they had heard and seen, which were just as they had been told.

Our Abba,

You are the Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.

You make  me lie down in green pastures,

You lead  me beside quiet waters,

Jesus refreshes my soul.

He guides me along the right paths

for His name’s sake.

Even though I walk through the darkest valley,

I will fear no evil, for You are with me;

Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies.

You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.

Surely your goodness and love will follow me

all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Uplift those I LOVE and people that are given. Bless them to have Wisdom.

Watch over, lead and guide our Churches, Communities and Nations. We look in Expectation of Jesus. Amen.
