We all want a fruitful life that makes a difference, but here's the tension: most of us are living with one foot in our old kingdom and one foot in Christ's kingdom. The result? Division, aimlessness, and drift.
Paul reminds us in Colossians 1:21-23 that we've been reconciled and presented holy before God through Jesus. But this comes with a calling—to remain steadfast, not shifting from the hope of the gospel. The mission isn't perfection; it's daily pursuit. It's choosing to put off anger, malice, and self-seeking, and put on compassion, kindness, humility, and forgiveness.
Here's your mission: whatever you do—in retirement, in your career, with your kids, in your passions—do it ALL in the name of Jesus (Colossians 3:17). Let the peace of Christ rule your heart. Let His word dwell in you richly. You're not just drifting through life anymore. You're on mission for the King.
What passion has Jesus given you? Live it for Him today.
