Radically Different


Colossians 3:1-3

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.

Yesterday started the first day back to Sunday School for this fall at my church.  This year I am co-teaching the Jr High.  Our study this semester will be using a book called Radically Different.  We are studying Colossians 3:1-4:1. 

As we start into Colossians, we are told to take the old sinful beings that we are and to get rid of it.  We are to take off what we have been.  As we continue through the chapter, we will learn about how we are to put on new with Christ.

As we read in the beginning, this applies to those of us that have been raised with Christ.  We have set our hearts on things above, not on earthly things.  To me, this tells me that I need to raise my expectations of how I should be seen by the world.  The world accepts anything that feels good at the time but as Christians, we must set our focus on Heaven.

What will you do today to raise your expectations of yourself beyond what the world expects?
