Life that is not meaningless is a life hidden with Christ
revealed when life that is meaningless dies. Therefore put to death the earthly
things that diminish life on earth; anger, wrath, malice, slander, abusive
language, lies and the like. While it sounds like a “just do it” theology,
which as we know rarely gets it done, the revealed life depends fully on the
One who did it for us so that the ways we are fond to follow are finally exposed
as dead ends. When by putting to death the dead end ways in which we used to
live we live the life hidden in Christ, Christ is revealed. The revealed life
of Christ is not consumed by greed, possessed by passions or divided by
discrimination. Just do it? No. It’s been done.
