Wrath // Patience | Agassiz Campus | Vice & Virtue

Colossians 3:1-5, 8-13 One of the most insidious vices, that we easily fall into is that of anger or wrath. Often disguised in pseudo-righteousness, anger quickly morphs into wrath and a litany of other manifestations as human nature takes over, and we seek justice on our own terms. In Colossians, Paul reminds his audience that we are new a new creation because of the Gospel, that believers are “in Christ” and as such are called to put off worldly practices and put on the virtue of godliness. Patience, the willingness to suffer long even in the face of provocation, is both a fruit of faithfulness and the antidote to wrath.
