When Christ who is your life appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. – Colossians 3:14 (ESV)
What is my life? My vocation, my family, my free time? No, Christ is my life. Moreover, when He appears, I will appear with Him!
How easily I get distracted - how quickly I focus on the minutiae of life. I wonder if my life more closely resembles a humorless Seinfeld episode, than it does being “hidden with Christ in God” (v 3).
Because of the grace of God, my life IS in Christ. This is the most exciting and humbling truth - my life is in Christ! My mind should be on that (v 2), not the trinkets and baubles a shadowy earth offers (v 2:17).
