Colossians 3:11
Christ is ALL That Matters!
Welcome, Faith Force Label Erasers! Today, we’re learning that all worldly labels disappear because Christ is everything, as shared in Colossians 3:11.
Verse Of The Day:
"Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all." (Colossians 3:11)
Have you ever noticed how the world loves to label people? Popular, unpopular, smart, athletic, rich, poor – labels everywhere! Paul teaches us that in Christ, ALL those labels become meaningless!
Paul lists all the labels that mattered in his time: “no Gentile or Jew” (different religions and backgrounds), “circumcised or uncircumcised” (different traditions), “barbarian, Scythian” (different cultures – some considered “civilized,” others considered “uncivilized”), “slave or free” (different social classes). The world was FULL of these dividing labels!
But then comes the powerful truth: “but Christ is all, and is in all.” Two amazing things happen! First, “Christ is all” – meaning Jesus is EVERYTHING that matters! He’s more important than any label the world gives you. Are you popular or unpopular? Doesn’t matter – Christ is all! Rich or poor? Doesn’t matter – Christ is all! Any worldly category becomes meaningless because Christ is the ONLY category that truly matters!
Second, “Christ is in all” – the same Jesus lives in EVERY believer equally! The Christ in you is the same Christ in the kid who’s different from you. We all have the same Jesus inside us, making us equal!
So stop letting worldly labels define you or divide you from others! The only identity that matters is “I belong to Christ!”
My "Christ is All" Badge:
Cut a circle from cardboard and write “CHRIST IS ALL!” in the center. Around the edges, write worldly labels people use (smart, athletic, popular, rich, quiet, etc.) but put a big X through each one. On the back, write “Christ in me” to remember that Christ is in all believers. Wear your badge this week and remember – Christ is all that matters, not worldly labels!
Time For A Prayer:
Dear God, help us stop caring about worldly labels and categories! When we're tempted to judge ourselves or others by the world's standards, remind us that Christ is all that matters. Thank You that Christ is in all believers equally. Help us find our identity only in belonging to You! Amen.
Keep erasing worldly labels, Faith Force Label Erasers! Until our next Divine Dispatch, remember that Christ is all, and is in all believers!
