Things — Part 2
“If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth” (Colossians 3:1-2).
Peter reminds us that we have, “an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, and that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven” (1 Peter 1:4).
What a sad commentary we have concerning Lot. “And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where .… Then Lot chose him all the plain of Jordan” (Genesis 13:10-11). Poor Lot saw the day when all he chose and all he worked for came under the judgement of God, as He rained fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah. All that we build in this world is going to be left behind. This planet is “reserved unto fire” (2 Peter 3:7).
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ” (Ephesians 1:3). All we have of eternal value is in Him, through Him and by Him!
