Thoughts from the Lectionary for Easter Day
From the Epistle Lesson: Colossians 3:1-4
Vs. 3 "For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God.:
The Apostle Paul speaks here to the church at Colosse. He notes that the path to spiritual maturity is not found in secret revelation or self-punishing asceticism, but instead is found in the believer’s understanding of their “death” and “resurrection” with Christ. Christians are united inseparably with Christ and though the full reality of the new life is not yet fully revealed, it is nevertheless secure in Christ Jesus our Lord.
Let us rejoice and be at peace, knowing that our lives are securely united to Christ through His mighty resurrection power.
