A Proper Postlude to Easter

As we have just come off the celebration of Easter and of Jesus' resurrection from the dead (with the words, "Alleluia! Christ is risen!" still ringing in our ears), let us now hear and heed what the Spirit says in Colossians 3:1-4 to us who have been raised with Christ:
If then 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 appears, then you also will appear with him in glory.
