Passage: Colossians 3:12-14
-------------------
In a sermon on Colossians 3:12-14, Rev. Wy Plummer emphasizes that Christians are called to "put on" virtues like compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, with love binding them all together. He defines bearing with one another as staying committed in difficult relationships, absorbing discomfort without retaliation, and carrying each other's burdens.
The sermon highlights that we bear with others because Christ continually bears with us, forgiving our ongoing weaknesses and failures. This forgiveness, a command not a suggestion, demonstrates the immense mercy we've received from God. Ultimately, this Christ-like endurance and love serves as a powerful witness to the world, revealing the reality of the gospel. Plummer concludes by urging listeners to actively pray for change, confess their struggles, and stay rooted in God's Word to cultivate this essential Christian practice.
