The apostle Paul writes the following words to a young church and to us
today. “Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on
things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God.

Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life
is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears,
then you will also appear with him in glory.”

This world is a mess,

but if you belong to Christ, you can set your eyes on him

and know that there is a much better life to come.

Hear these lyrics:

“Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in his wonderful face.

Through death into life everlasting, He passed and we followed him there.

O’er us sin no more hath dominion for more than conquerors we are.

Turn your eyes upon Jesus. Look full in his wonderful face.”

If we belong to Christ, we can rest in Christ, we have
no fear in death, and we know that God is always with us.

You can see that peace and contentment are

easily found in this world in those living the Christian life.

Christians see the end of the story.
