In our journey of faith, we're called to rediscover where we truly belong. The passage from Colossians 3:1-4 challenges us to reflect on our union with Christ and how it transforms our lives. Have we truly been 'raised with Christ'? If so, our lives should reflect a profound change. We're urged to 'seek the things that are above' and 'set our minds on things above.' This isn't just about thinking heavenly thoughts, but about aligning our values, priorities, and actions with those of Christ. The fruits of the Spirit - love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control - should be increasingly evident in our lives. As we embrace this new spiritual reality, we're reminded that our lives are 'hidden with Christ in God.' This beautiful metaphor speaks to our security and identity in Christ, even as we navigate the challenges of this world. Let's ponder: How can we orient our lives more fully towards Christ today?
