Pastor Leon’s SOAP: Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer

March 12: Deuteronomy 19-21; Galatians 3

Scripture: Galatians (NIV) 3:26 So in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith, 27 for all of you who were baptized into Christ have clothed yourselves with Christ.

Observation: Many scriptures speak of Christ coming to live inside me. However this verse emphasizes that I am to live inside Christ! I am to dress myself with Christ. Clothing is for the outside. It is what others can see. As I see Christ changing me on the inside, others can see Christ changing me on the outside.

Application: I often think of Pastor Sua singing: “Jesus on the inside, working on the outside; oh, what a change in my life!” Today people will be hearing and seeing my portrayal of Jesus. I want to be able to tell people, “This is what Jesus would say,” and show them, “This is how Jesus would do it.”

Prayer: Lord, help me become comfortable in your clothes. And may I wear them in a way that brings joy to your heart. Amen
