Over the past two weeks, I did a sermon series called "Sacred Living." The basis for the sermon series was Colossians 2:6-23; 3:1-17. The first week was all about "reality." We took the journey through the second chapter of Colossians and talked about how the things of this world are not our reality...Our reality is with Christ in the world to come. Then, this past Sunday, we walked through the third chapter of Colossians and focused on the things we are to rid ourselves of and the things we are to put on.
Well, last week, I picked up the new Brennan Manning book, "The Importance of Being Foolish: How to Think Like Jesus." It is absolutely incredible how this book it lining up with what I've been working through for this sermon series. Over the past two days, as I've been reading, I've been remarking to myself, "Self, I wish I had read this book earlier because there is so much in here I could have used." Manning talks about fully living in Christ...well, that's what "sacred living" is all about...Jesus.
Obviously, this is just confirmation to me that at least I needed to be reminded that I need to be living in the Kingdom today...That happens when I put myself aside and put on Christ.
"I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me..." Galatians 2:20.
