Colossians 3:10-11
10 For you have acquired new creation life which is continually being renewed into the likeness of the One who created you; giving you the full revelation of God. 11 In this new creation life, your nationality makes no difference, or your ethnicity, education, or economic status—they matter nothing. For it is Christ that means everything as he lives in every one of us!

When we think about the resurrection of Messiah—Christ the Anointed One—we need to think about what it is he has done for us. He has given us new life and a new way to live. We no longer live only to please ourselves; we live to bring honor to God. This is our worship. Essentially, Jesus holds class each day and we are the students. In Christ, we never stop learning and never stop growing in the righteousness of God. And, less we forget, Christ reminds us there are no longer barriers, because all are welcome to come to him and receive this new life.

Prayer: Lord, thank you for my new life. Help me to align my conduct with your Word. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
