Live Fully Into Easter

Myron F. McCoy

 

So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.  Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory.

Colossians 3:1-4

 

The Apostle Paul's wise counsel to the Colossians is to "Think about the things above and not the things on earth." Here, Paul's message is one that urges us to celebrate now - however incompletely - what is still a future event. The empty tomb, found by Mary Magdalene, the other woman, Simon Peter, and the "other disciple," testifies to the fact that resurrection is a present reality.  Every believer's new and redeemed life already exists.  At the same time, the church lives in a post-resurrection age that has only just been inaugurated.  The "glory" of all those things we "seek above' is still in the future.  What has been "completed" still remains "incomplete."
