—Colossians 3:12-17
by: Jasmine Lynch.
In Christ we are all one (Colossians 3:11) and Christ admonished us: “Whatever you want men to do to you, do also to them” (Matthew 7:12, NKJV). It is so easy to lose patience with our brothers and sisters when they exhibit a fault or weakness. That is when our strength in the Lord should shine. When we live out toward one another the qualities Paul lists in this passage, we show compassion and perfect love because “love never fails” (1 Corinthians 13:8). When we are weak, we need support and forgiveness from our fellow believers. When was the last time you gave support to someone in need?
