Title: “Lifted with Him in Glory”
Scripture Reading: Colossians 3:1-2 (NIV)
“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.”
Message:
The resurrection of Christ not only assures our salvation but also transforms our lives. Today, we explore Colossians 3:1-2 and reflect on the profound truth that, having been raised with Christ, our focus is now on heavenly things, lifted with Him in glory.
The resurrection is not just a historical event; it is a spiritual reality for believers. We have been raised with Christ, sharing in the victory over sin and death.
As those lifted with Him in glory, our perspective changes. We are called to set our hearts and minds on things above, aligning our desires and thoughts with the eternal.
This upward focus transforms our lives. We are no longer bound by the limitations of earthly concerns but live in the light of God’s glory, guided by heavenly principles.
Prayer:
Heavenly Father, thank you for raising us with Christ and lifting us in glory. Help us set our hearts and minds on heavenly things, aligning our lives with Your eternal purposes. May the reality of the resurrection shape every aspect of our existence. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
