The Affections Elevated
Colossians 3:1-4
If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.…


— On board iron vessels it is a common thing to see a compass placed aloft, to be as much away from the cause of aberration as possible; a wise hint to us to elevate our affections and desires; the nearer to God, the less swayed by worldly influences.

(C. H. Spurgeon.)
