Because Jesus
In this exploration of Colossians 3:1-4, we're challenged to shift our focus entirely to Jesus Christ. The passage reminds us that if we've been raised with Christ, we should seek the things above. But what does this mean for our daily lives? It's about aligning our hearts, minds, and actions with the reality of our new life in Christ. We're called to remember three crucial truths: what Jesus has done for us, where Jesus is now, and the promise of His return. These truths should transform how we view ourselves and the world around us. As believers, we're no longer defined by earthly standards but by our identity in Christ. This shift in perspective isn't just theological; it's deeply practical, affecting our desires, thoughts, and ultimately, our actions. Are we living with the urgency of Christ's return while patiently trusting in His timing? This message challenges us to examine where our true focus lies and encourages us to center everything on Jesus.
