Today's encouragement comes from Colossians 3:3, where we read these words:
“For you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” (ESV)Where is Christ’s human body? In heaven. Where are the regenerate saints of the church? “Hidden with Christ in God.” Therefore, where are our hearts and minds, when we are functioning as our true selves? With Christ, in God, in heaven.
. . . This explains why Paul tells us to “seek” things that are “above,” (v. 1); and why we are to “set our minds” on things that are “above,” (v. 2). When we are “real,” we are living in Christ; when we are “false,” we are living in futility.
