Colossians 3, verse 1: “If then you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God” (ESV). Paul begins dealing with us today—with the Colossians—in calling us all to a higher calling. It’s a higher calling. It’s an awareness in the living out of our lives. It’s not just simply living our lives, but actually living them out in a higher quality, with the understanding that there is more to life than what we see with our eyes, what we see in the physical realm. That’s the way the world lives, right? They live by what they see, what they want, and even what they fear. Desires and fears. These are the two areas of life. We all desire things, and we all fear certain things. The key, the key to life, Paul is telling us today, is to rise above those desires and fears. We know we’re supposed to rise above the fears. We’ve been instructed to do that for many years. But to rise above the desires too, that’s not something that’s talked about all that much.
