Supersaturated By the Word of Christ

Have you ever experienced real Southern sweet tea? I know if you are from NYC or Chicago or out West somewhere, you really don’t know what that means, unless you have traveled to the South. Sweet Tea in the South is a sacred rite, the brewing of which is a delicate process. The key to real Southern Sweet Tea is creating a supersaturated sugar water solution, into which the tea is steeped. This results in almost a syrup called Sweet Tea.
This is in contrast to all of those glasses of tea that come unsweetened at the restaurant, and after adding almost a half cup of sugar, still tastes mildly sweet, with a ton of granules settled at the bottom.
The command of the Scripture in Colossians 3:16, Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly…, is a call to be supersaturated by the Word of Christ. This comes through constant reading, meditation, memorization, discussion, and examination of the Bible. So much so that there is no distinction between your life and the Word of Christ in your life. In everything you do or say your life should be characterized by the Word of Christ within you. You need to be supersaturated by the Word of Christ.
