Marked “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly” (Colossians 3:16). We have an expression, “That individual is a marked person.” It means that there is something about them or something they have done that sets them apart from the rest of the crowd. It may be good, or it may be bad. What marks you as a Christian? Is it the Word of God? Do others who observe your life say, “There is a person who is marked by the truth of Scripture”? I saw a quote in the flyleaf of a friend’s Bible that I thought was very appropriate in this connection. Here is what it said: It is a small thing to mark your Bible; It reminded me of what was said about Peter and John as they were observed by those who heard them preach in the early days of Christianity: “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John … they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus” (Acts 4:13). We may make notes and underline certain favorite verses in our Bibles, but do those verses really affect our life and underline our daily routine?
