“My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: Just go ahead with what you’ve been given. You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now live him. You’re deeply rooted in him. You’re well constructed upon him. You know your way around the faith. Now do what you’ve been taught. School’s out; quit studying the subject and start living it! And let your living spill over into thanksgiving.”
Colossians 2:6-7 MSG – A verse of the day from the Bible presented in Eugene Peterson’s contemporary version called The Message. Accompanied by a personal reflection below.
School’s out, folks! Start putting into practice what you’ve been taught and what you’ve learned. Get it, got it, good! That’s what Paul is saying here. Start living life the way Jesus would: loving God and loving your neighbor. Are you doing that?
