Colossians 3:17
1. All things matter to God (whatever you do).
vocatio:Calling
2. Remember that words are deeds too.
“If the name of Jesus can get behind this, then I want to get the name of Jesus in front of this.”
John Woodhouse divides the section:
-The scope of the Christian life.
-The Lord of the Christian life.
-The manner of the Christian life.
3. Adorn things and adore God with thanks.
Familiarity is obviously not immoral, but, if we are not careful, familiarity will kill thankfulness.
A Biblical Theology of Glory
“There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal.”
-C.S. Lewis in “The Weight of Glory”
4. Christ is the way to the Father—even in daily life.
-The name of God is good news in the Old Testament (Ps. 23:3; 25:11).
-The name of Jesus specifies Good news in the New (Acts 4:12).
-As we live in the church age for the glory of Christ, we expand the reach of the good news and the extent of his rule.
