SCRIPTURE:
... Seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. (Colossians 3:1b)
"Seek the things that are above where Christ is...
What is above? Christ! Christ is seated above. We should seek Christ above all.
How do you know someone has found Christ? They keep seeking Him. It wouldn't make sense for someone to keep looking for their keys after they have already found them. But with Jesus, when we find Him, we keep seeking Him because we always want more of Jesus!
Also keep your mind focused on heavenly things. The things above. Things like love, eternal life, joy, peace, mercy, holiness, righteousness, purity, and so on. These things are of a heavenly nature and if you are born again, you are a citizen of heaven.
Seeking the things above is a desire to be with Christ. Do you desire to be where Christ is? If Jesus came right now and asked you if you wanted to leave earth and go to heaven with Him, would you go? Is there anything that is more important to you than being with Jesus? Let it not be so!
We should seek the things above where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. The word "seek" is a word of action. It Is an ongoing action. Everybody is actively seeking for something.
What are you seeking in your life? Are you seeking Christ and the things that are above?
