April 18, 2010: Calling It Something – Dave Neuhausel

How do I do everything in the name of Jesus? Doesn’t Paul know how mundane much of my day already is? Perhaps this understanding begins by what Paul has just said, “Let the message of Christ dwell among you …” If this is the reality then our minds and hearts are fixed more fully on him. And everything we do is for him, in him, and through him.

As we move toward this way of living, we may just end up in a place that we enjoy being. All of words, tasks, deeds, and our very lives will be lived not out of our drudgery but out of joy. One might even refer to this kind of living as a “calling.” Maybe this is what the message of Christ is after all.
