Life Hidden with Christ
My dear son,
Your life is held with Christ in me. What people can see now is not the whole of your life. Live today with your eyes on the glory that will be revealed with Jesus when he appears.
Setting your mind on things above means letting what my Son treasures shape your choices. I want you to follow enduring love and truth, beyond the immediate gains and opinions that so easily claim your attention.
Tell me about the pleasure of something well done and the gratitude of an ordinary day. This evening, let your heart rest from trying to prove yourself. Cherish your life as a child whose life is held within the Father.
With all my love,
Your Father
Colossians 3:1–4
WEB1If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God.
2Set your mind on the things that are above, not on the things that are on the earth.
3For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.
4When Christ, our life, is revealed, then you will also be revealed with him in glory.
A short reflection
Paul urges those raised with Christ to seek things above, teaching that their life is hidden with Christ in God and will be revealed with him in glory.
