Devotion – Colossians 3

S – And whatever you do, in word or in deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. 

Colossians  3:17 CSB

O – Commentary:  

as a representative of the Lord Jesus (literally in the name of the Lord Jesus): In the Bible, a person’s name represents that person. To do something in the name of the Lord Jesus is therefore to act in a way that is in harmony with his identity and under his authority

 New Living Translation Study Bible 

A – Any word or action should represent Jesus.  Just like my family shares a common name and that reflects on us as a whole.  Our lives are a living representation of what we believe about God.

R – Lord, I invite you into my thoughts, words and actions today.  Let me be a pleasing representation of your love and character.  Let me bring life and your love to all I interact with today.
