Here there is not Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave, free; but Christ is all, and in all. (Colossians 3:11)
There is the ‘What Can He Do For Me’ approach to Jesus – bread for hunger, water for thirst, light in darkness, friend in loneliness, king for leadership, and so on.
Yet relationship with Jesus is more than that. When Jesus takes residency in a person, that life is completely taken over. Old habits, former characteristics are subject to the new owner. So everything is about Jesus – He is in charge of everything because He is in everything, because He is everything.
As that sinks in a dramatically different way of understanding Jesus begins to make the changes.
For His Name’s Sake
