Colossians 1:21-23
Once you were alienated from God and were enemies in your minds because of your evil behavior.


Reflection
We all start in the same place.  We are all sinners
who need God’s redeeming grace in our lives.  If
we stay where we all start that will only leave us
in a place of desperation and despair.  We need a
way to move from sin to wholeness.  The only way that can happen is for something to be done for us that will change our situation.

The factor that brings about change in our lives is Jesus.  Jesus takes us from being alienated from
the Father and makes a child of God.  The grace of
Jesus transforms us from enemies of God to a friend of God.  That’s why we need to take Jesus to the world.  Everyone should have the opportunity to
have that transformation in their lives.

Has Jesus transformed your life?  If so, how are
you sharing that transformation with others?
