One of the more common images that Jesus gave for our faith-life was the image of a planted seed. Jesus wanted us to understand that the Gospel “seed” once planted, not only takes root but also grows the whole of our life. So, when we consider our life in Christ, we must remember that living in and through Jesus means that we are growing in our faith every day. In fact, we are growing by the power of the Holy Spirit towards a maturity that Christ wants in the life of every believer. While we will not be “complete” until we die or the Second Coming happens, in our life in Christ we are all growing into “Mature” men and women of God in His sight every single day.

Today’s segment of Colossians one brings up something that is hard for us to understand as Christian people. We believe that we are sinners...that’s not a problem. We believe that we are forgiven...and we love that truth. But do we really believe that we are “holy” in God’s sight? Do we even come close to trusting that we are “blameless” and “above reproach”? Those are amazing words and they are also hard words to believe because we know ourselves too well. We look in the mirror and know how sinful we really are. Today we’ll remember that it’s not how you look to yourself that matters, but how you look to God. And in our life in Christ, we are in His sight, “Holy, Blameless, Above Reproach”...thanks be to God!
