His Discernment

For in Him all the fullness of Deity dwells in bodily form, and in Him you have been made complete, and He is the head over all rule and authority; and in Him you were also circumcised with a circumcision made without hands, in the removal of the body of the flesh by the circumcision of Christ; having been buried with Him in baptism, in which you were also raised up with Him through faith in the working of God, who raised Him from the dead. When you were dead in your transgressions and the uncircumcision of your flesh, He made you alive together with Him, having forgiven us all our transgressions, having canceled out the certificate of debt consisting of decrees against us, which was hostile to us; and He has taken it out of the way, having nailed it to the cross.  Colossians 2:9-14 NASB

Everything we once were in Adam has been placed onto His cross and nailed permanently there as a public display of cancellation. Then Jesus made a public spectacle of all the powers and principalities of darkness, stripping away from them every weapon and all their spiritual authority and power to accuse us. And by the power of the cross, Jesus Christ led them around as prisoners in a procession of triumph. He was not their prisoner; they were His!

Wow. Overwhelmed with the weight and truth of those written words spoken by God…

I know, we really do understand the potential for anger to boil over regarding so many topics that break God’s heart, It’s tempting to take a stand on issues. But it’s far better to take a seat with people. 

It’s tempting to cancel. It’s better to care. It’s tempting to shout at someone. It’s better to share with someone. 

And when we are tempted to cancel the people of today’s sin culture, May we seek Holy Spirit first, His wisdom, His discernment, His ways.
