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?
