for ever; and are we to be looking backwards instead of forwards? Are we
to be fostering the earthly affection, and losing sight of the heavenly?
No. Let the world seek its own, and enjoy it while it lasts. But it
won’t last long. Still, while it does last men of the world are
consistent in living for it. No one can accuse them of inconsistency.
What we ask for is a similar consistency in those whose conversation is
in heaven, and whose desire it is to walk with God. If we know Him let
us keep our eye steadily fixed on Him; let us not be afraid of going
forth without the camp, if only we can trace His footsteps in the path;
and let us never lose sight of the Divine precept, ‘If ye then be risen
with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on
the right hand of God. Set your affections on things above, not on
things of the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ
in God.’
