Colossians 3:17a – Eyes On Jesus

And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus …

Summary: In this passage, Paul lays down a challenge. He reminds us that God is everywhere, and our Lord Jesus is always with us. He suggests that maybe we should act like it.

Here is an interesting thought! What if everything you ever said or did was in the name of the Lord Jesus? Does that change anything?

As children of God and brothers and sisters of our Lord Jesus, we actually have a responsibility to acknowledge God in our daily lives.

1 Peter 2:19 — Pain Gauge

Picture: Detail of old woodcut depicting hell.

For it is commendable if someone bears up under the pain of unjust suffering because they are conscious of God.

Peter is going to talk about “unjust suffering” for a while. As he explores this theme, he segues into the topic of wives submitting to their husbands. I’m not saying that there is a connection here, but I suspect that the wives who are reading this might have some special insights on this passage. Anyway, for now, he is content to focus on the general topic of unjust suffering.
