Colossians 3:18–4:1 brings the gospel right into the ordinary places of life. Into our marriages. Our parenting. Our workplaces. The way we lead. The way we treat people when nobody else is watching. It is easy to speak about compassion, kindness, patience, forgiveness and love. It is something else to live them out with the people closest to us. The question isn’t simply, “Do people know I’m a Christian?” Maybe the deeper question is: What version of Christianity does the person closest to me experience? The gospel was never meant merely to change what we believe about eternity. It changes how we treat the person standing in front of us today. Jesus, be Lord in every room.
