TODAY’S TOPIC: Put on your new self
Text: Colossians 3:1-10 (NIV):
"3:1. Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
3:2. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
3:3. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God.
3:4. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
3:5. Put to death, therefore, whatever belongs to your earthly nature: sexual immorality, impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry.
3:6. Because of these, the wrath of God is coming.
3:7. You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived.
3:8. But now you must rid yourselves of all such things as these: anger, rage, malice, slander, and filthy language from your lips.
3:9. Do not lie to each other, since you have taken off your old self with its practices
3:10. and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator."
SHOWER (Reflection):
Yesterday we commemorated the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. Today is Easter Monday when He appeared to Mary and other disciples. He appeared to reveal Himself to them, to reassures and remind us that He has risen and shouldn't be sought among the dead. Today, we are reading about the significance of His resurrection. It entails that we are now new creatures with marks and lives of Jesus Christ. Therefore, we must put away things of the world such as lust of the flesh, stealing, greed, untrust, immorality, hatred, etc. Because He lives, we must live to glorify His name. Hallelujah!!!
