“If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth.”
– Colossians 3:1–2
Seeing heaven’s light shining on earth
Pass through the world, believers in Jesus, like nothing in it, caring for nothing in it, content and satisfied with nothing it can give, moved with nothing in it; neither much taken up with the much evil or little good of it; neither cast down by the frowns nor lifted up by the smiles of this vain deceitful world.
Pass on, and “press forward for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 3:14)
You have greater things to look to, greater things to fix your hearts and hopes upon, than all this world, – even that blessed state when we shall be with Christ where He is, and shall behold His glory, which the Father hath given Him; for the Father loved His Son and our Saviour before the foundation of the world.
– ROBERT TRAILL 1642-1716
