April 2, 2011 (Leviticus 5; Psalms 3-4; Proverbs 20; Colossians 3)

The first part of Colossians 3:16 is worthy of our memorization this week, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly…” What does this mean? Here is what one N.T. scholar says about this verse:“[It means that the word of Christ] is to fill our memories, occupy our horizons, constitute our priorities. We are to reflect on it, as we turn it over in our minds and learn how it applies in every area of our lives, that, far from occupying a little religious corner of our experience, it will dwell in us richly.” (D.A. Carson) Well said.
