Deeply rooted

My counsel for you is simple and straightforward: 
Just go ahead with what you’ve been given. 
You received Christ Jesus, the Master; now live him. 
You’re deeply rooted in him. 
You’re well constructed upon him. 
You know your way around the faith. 
Now do what you’ve been taught. 
School’s out; quit studying the subject and start living it! 
And let your living spill over into thanksgiving.

I'm stopping by today from Jumping Tandem Sunday while drinking my afternoon cup of coffee.
What a beautiful verse.
I hope you and yours has a blessed week!

I've never read this in the Message. Love the "school's out."
