Clothed with Christ: Colossians 3:1-17

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

Marcus woke before dawn. The same temptations that had plagued him before his baptism still whispered. The same anger that had defined him still simmered. He was a new creation—why did the old creation feel so present?

Set your hearts on things above. He repeated the words from Paul's letter. Things above—where Christ is. Not the schemes for revenge against his former business partner. Not the lustful thoughts about his neighbor's wife. Things above.

Where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.
