…so as to walk in a manner worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing to him: bearing fruit in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God. (Colossians 1:10 ESV)
Jesus’ Life and Work
It is common for jokes to be made about failure. When a roadworker paints a crooked line, we say, “you had ONE job!” When a cook forgets to add salt, we say, “You had ONE job!” When a Professional Bowler misses a strike, we say, “You had ONE job!”
Christians might be said to have ONE job! Obeying God. And we fail in that ONE job.
But Jesus’ perfect life results in God accepting CHRIST’S obedience as our own.
We best do our job when clinging body, heart, and soul to Jesus. Then HIS one job fixes our one job!
