BIG IDEA:

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 also will appear with him in glory. Colossians 3:1-4

BIG IDEA:
Life’s troubles___ ___ ____will not last
Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we
are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being
renewed day by day. For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them
all. II Corinthians 4:16-18
He will wipe every tear from their eyes.
There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of
things has passed away. Revelation 21:4
Death brings_____ gain
For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain.
Philippians 1:21
“If we consider the unblushing promises of
reward and the staggering nature of the rewards
promised in the Gospels, it would seem that our Lord finds our desires, not too
strong, but too weak.
We are half-hearted creatures, fooling about with drink and sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot
imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We
are far too easily pleased.”C.S. Lewis, The Weight of Glory
“He is no fool who loses what he cannot keep to gain what
he cannot lose.”Jim Elliot, martyred
missionary
“But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to
the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all
things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be
found in him…”Philippians 3:7-9a
“Aim at heaven and you’ll get earth thrown in. Aim at
earth and you’ll get neither.”C. S. Lewis, Mere Christianity
Our Groom is__ ___ ___ on the way
“But we know that when he appears, we shall be like
him, for we shall see him as he is.” I John 3:2b
