Thy Strong Word from KFUO Radio Colossians 3:12-4:1:Serving as God’s chosen ones.
Rev. Lucas Witt, pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Baltimore, MD joins host Rev. Brady Finnern to study Colossians 3:12-4:1.
You are God’s chosen one, holy and beloved. As you have been chosen, He has called us to live in accordance with His gracious will. Paul gives us important instructions on how to live as the body of Christ (kindness, compassion, meekness, forgiving), in the home (submission, love, & obedience), and in our working relationships (service and justice). The words of Paul lead us to ask the questions, “How can I serve as one washed, redeemed, and made holy in Christ?” “How can I serve my family?” “How can I serve in my area of work?” “Lord God, as Your chosen and holy ones by the blood of Christ, help us to be compassionate, forgiving, loving, subservient, obedient, and servants to those You have brought before us. Lord have mercy, In Christ, Amen”
