Charles Spurgeon Commentary Colossians 3:1

"If then ye were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated on the right hand of God." — Colossians 3:1 (ASV)

If you then are risen with Christ—

Leave all these outward rituals, and formalities, and ordinances of men—

If you then are risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.

Your Lord and Master has gone up to heaven. You profess that he represents you, and that you have gone up there in him and with him. Then do not seek the things that are here below, the things of earth; but live where your life has gone. Where your treasure is, there let your heart be also. Seek those things which are above.
