Lenten Devotional 2016- “Bearing Fruit”
Lent 30 – Tuesday, March 15, 2016
Colossians 3: 2-3
2Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth,3for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
Main Points:
- Setting your mind right!
- Our death= baptism; hidden life?
Does the first part of this verse not just rephrase the commandment of “Thou shalt have no other Gods be”? For if we have our minds set on the ways of the earth then we can’t have our minds set on the ways of God. We are making a God of something earthly. But once we have knowledge of what Christ is about and his meaning we should have left the other behind and come to world as Christ saw it and needs us all to participate in it as believers.
