I can see the family resemblance. Have you ever heard someone say that? Every family shares a likeness, and the same is true when Jesus takes hold of our lives and makes us children of God. As his children, we are called to reflect our Father’s character in a world that has forgotten what love and light look like. In this passage, Paul reminds us that, in response to the gospel, sexual immorality, impurity, and greed—which is ultimately idolatry—have no place among God’s people. It is a call to awake and behold Jesus so that his love shines through us, showing the family resemblance and inviting the world to awake and behold him too!
