Colossians Week 21:The Balance

The last couple of weeks in Colossians, Paul has been telling us about the gifts God has given us and our potential for hurting ourselves with those good gifts. He will specifically talk about gifts dealing with our flesh (impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness) and gifts dealing with our speech (anger, wrath, malice, slander). Paul now says, Col 3:14 And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. N.T. Wright uses the metaphor of two towns to compare Col 3:5-9 and Col 3:12-17. If everyone behaved according to what’s described in each of those passages, which town would we rather live in? It’s a good question to reveal where our desires land.
