2020 for JESUS - Day 62: JESUS is COMPASSION, KINDNESS, HUMILITY, GENTLENESS, PATIENCE, BURDEN BEARER, FORGIVENESS, LOVE...

In the Bible book of Colossians, chapter 3 begins with talking to us who have made the decision to die to self and be raised with CHRIST.   It continues by telling us what to take off and what to put on.  

Colossians 3, starting with verse 5 tells us to put to death whatever belongs to our earthly nature:

• sexual immorality
• impurity
• lust
• evil desires
• greed, which is idolatry
• anger
• rage
• malice
• slander
• filthy language
• lying

Verses 9-11 tell us that since we have taken off "...old self and it's practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its CREATOR.  Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but CHRIST is all, and is in all."


Verses 12-14 guides us in how to live...
"Therefore, as GOD's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with:

• COMPASSION
• KINDNESS
• HUMILITY
• GENTLENESS
• PATIENCE
• bear with each other - BEARS WITH OTHERS
• forgive one another - FORGIVES
• forgive as the LORD forgave you - FORGIVENESS

And over all these virtues put on LOVE, which binds them all together in perfect unity."

 Yes!  JESUS is all these things and so much more!  Clothe yourself with JESUS!
