       So, when each of us personally “seek[s] the things that are above,” what we are doing is actually living with the awareness of how things actually are—that the world has been loved by God, that there is hope for us and for everyone, and that Christ’s character traits are that which should be implemented in every situation. We’ve called this in the past becoming more like Jesus. That’s exactly it. For us, as Americans, that may not include persecution like it included for him and the disciplines (or it may), but the point is that we are to try to see everything how he would see it, and to act how we think he would act, or in a way that we believe he would be pleased with. It’s a higher calling than the world, who, again, just lives out basic societal character traits, traits which include immorality, revenge, back stabbing, lying, getting ahead at any cost, not playing by proper rules, whatever you want to name.
