His Rich Message


“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts.”

Colossians 3:16





“Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly...”

What ‘message’ fills your life?

The message we carry influences our actions, attitudes and virtually every part of our lives.

Do you carry a message someone else sowed in you?

Maybe it wasn’t such a good message?

Maybe it was a message that you wouldn’t amount to much or maybe the message you carry is from the latest visit to the doctor.

How different might your life be if the message you carried was the message of Christ?

And what if you carried enough so that the message overflowed from you to others?

We are all ‘carriers’ in a sense.

We all bring with us a message.

The author of Colossians, the Apostle Paul, wisely counsels us to let Christ’s message dwell in us richly.

Not carrying it in a stingy, miserly way – but richly!

That means I immerse myself in Him so that He might be richly poured out through my life.

How about you?
