Interesting things found whilst studying Colossians for escuela

"A Christian always moves in two spheres. He is in a certain place in this world; but he is also in Christ. He lives in two demensions. He lives in this world whose duties he does not treat lightly; but above and beyond that he lives in Christ. In this world he may move from place to place; but wherever he is, he is in Christ. That is why outward experiences make little difference to the Christian; his peace and his joy are not dependant on them. That is why he will do any job with all his heart. It may be menial, unpleasant, painful; it may be far less distinguished than he might expect to have; its rewards may be small and its praise non-existant; nevertheless the Christian will do it diligently, uncomplainingly and cheerfully, for he is in Christ and does all things as to the Lord." --William Barclay, in "The letters to the Philippians, Colossians, and Thesalonians" in the Colossians section

"The way of love may seem to many to be the way of a fool."
