On things above

~Tuesday Thoughts~

This is the first in the series on Colossians 3 and 4. The first category in the NIV Bible for this passage is called "Living as Those Made Alive in Christ." Let us do so!

"Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your[a] life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory." Colossians 3:1-4 (NIV)

There is a reality in this world that we often forget about. There is a truth that we often choose to push to the back of our minds. But let us remember today! Let us remember whose we are and that He has chosen us. And let us set our minds and hearts on things above. For our "life is now hidden with Christ in God."
