Theme for the Week: RAISED AND SEATED IN THE HEAVENLY REALMS TO SHOW GOD'S KINDNESS IN CHRIST
Reading: Colossians 3:1-3
_______________________
Colossians 3:1 NIV
[1] Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
We are not just earthbound creatures striving to reach heavenly heights; as believers, we are already raised and seated with Christ in the heavenly realms. Our lives are hidden with Christ in God, and our true citizenship belongs to the kingdom of God.
Therefore, instead of being consumed by the worries and concerns of this world, we are called to fix our eyes on Jesus and His kingdom. We are called to live from above, allowing the truth of our heavenly position to shape our thoughts, desires, and actions.
Just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so too are we raised to walk in newness of life. Our old selves, with their sinful desires, have been crucified with Christ, and we are now free to live in the power of His resurrection.
Hallelujah!
Let's Pray:
Heavenly Father, we praise You. Lord, may we walk as people raised with Christ, in Jesus' name. Amen.
