This is tough stuff, but this is real stuff! This is the stuff where theology becomes life change! This is the stuff where truth sets us free! This is where we read Collosians 3 and it's not just a good bible study, but it's words of life and hope and truth that transform us!

In whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus! Giving thanks through Him to God the Father! That's real life! And it makes sense when you understand what we've been given in Christ! The grace, forgiveness, hope and life we have been given!

When we crossed the line and came into new life with Christ we became a new creature. We're united with Christ in a way that transcends our real ability to understand. We died with Christ, we were raised up with Christ, we received a whole new spiritual nature, we put off that old life, we put on the new life; we won the lottery! Spiritually speaking we did! And so the bible is telling us redeem it! Act upon it!

And I think all of us have had enough of religion! In fact that's the one thing that Jesus and the apostle Paul and the writers of the new testament speak out strongly against! And that's reducing a living relationship with Christ to a bunch of rules and regulations that we have to try to fulfill in our own power. That's not what this is about!

We are to put on it says, we are to clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Bare with each other and forgive whatever grievences you may have against one another. To bear with someone is to endure, to put up with their irritations!

If we try to live a new life without understanding our new identity, we're merely following a religion. Trying to live up to some do's and dont's. The bible does not present Christianity as just another religion; just an elevated sense of do's and dont's! It's a whole new relationship!

Jesus said, "I'm the true vine. My Father is the vine dresser." Every branch in me that does not bare fruit is lifted out of the dirt and is put up on the tressle. Why? Because what Jesus wants out of His branches is fruitfulness! You know, Jesus wants to fill your life with joy and peace and love more than you even want it!

Isaiah is telling us here in Isaiah chapter 40 that God is bigger than anything we can imagine. He knows everything! He has all power! He is everywhere! He has no equal! He has infinite resources! He can do anything He wills to do!

Everyone is on a spiritual journey! Some of us realise it! Some of us don't even know it! But every person is on a spiritual journey! And Jesus used parables to speak to people wherever they might be in their journey to move them to take the next step!
