RAISED WITH CHRST
Colossians 3:1-2
If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.
Personal Challenge
What does it mean to be "raised with Christ"? Backing up a few verses before this passage, Paul talks about us dying to this world for Christ. When we choose to follow Him we are to die to this world and live for Christ. In our baptism we go through the process of death, burial, and resurrection for our Lord. If we have done this, not just as a symbolical act, but as a true commitment, then we will seek those things which are above where our Christ is. Our minds and hearts will be heavenly focused and not earthly focused. We will be changed. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, the sinner!
