If You’re Serious

If you’re serious

about living

this new resurrection life

with Christ,

act like it.

— St. Paul, Colossians 3:1

Scrolling back up from where we were last weekend here (Colossians 3:16), notice how that entire chapter starts.

“If you’re serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ,” the first verse of Colossians says.

Whoa.

There’s what has been called the biggest two-letter word in the English language: “If.”

Are we? Are we “serious about living this new resurrection life with Christ” or not?

If we are, where and when are we going to learn and experience more about it this weekend?

Like I write at the conclusion of many of the things I write for the congregation I serve: See you in worship if not before.

“If you’re serious.“
