"Since you have
been raised to new life with Christ, set your sights on the realities of
heaven, where Christ sits in the place of honor at God’s right hand. Think about the things of heaven, not the things of earth. For
you died to this life, and your real life is hidden with Christ in God. And when Christ, who is your life, is revealed to the whole world, you
will share in all his glory." - Colossians 3:1-4
Sunday today! Resurrection Day. The day God's people gather to celebrate what Jesus Christ has done for them and the world. We've been "raised to new life in Christ!"
And because of this rescue, Paul says our perspective should change, our orientation should change, our thoughts should change. "Think about the things of heaven, not things of earth."
You died to this stuff, this life. You live differently now. Christ is your life! You have a down payment for an eternal deposit. And when Jesus comes back in glory, you get to shine to!
Does this describe you? Why or why not? What needs to change? What does Christ need to transform?
What Paul is describing here wasn't the exception but the norm. Life change is not optional. It is essential.
It's Sunday - start shining! See you in church where you can connect to the Vine.
