What do you want for Christmas? Where have you set your heart and mind to make it a Christ-filled Christmas?

1. Colossians 3:1-2
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.

2. Colossians 3:3-4
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.

4. A Christ centered Christmas
starts with a Christ centered
LIFE
We can’t expect a Christ-less world to act
CHRISTLIKE
A different way of living begins with a new
STATUS in life; “raised with Christ”.

5. A Christ centered Christmas is
defined not as much by our
activity as ATTITUDE of heart
For Ralphie Christmas was all about receiving
the RIGHT gift.
“Set your hearts” reflects CONTINUOUS effort.
To seek the things above I must stop RUNNING
after that which is below.

6. A Christ centered Christmas is
demonstrated by what
CONSUMES my thoughts.
To set our minds on things above means we view
life from an eternal PERSPECTIVE

7. A Christ centered Christmas shines the
LIGHT on Christ realizing it is all about
Him.
Will your life be HIDDEN in Christ or will Christ
be HIDDEN in your life?

My Next Step Today is to:
( ) Do the home life help (in bulletin)
( ) Determine that Christ will make more than cameo
appearances in my Christmas
( ) Reflect on how my life is different because I have been
“raised with Christ”
( ) Commit to setting my heart and mind on things
above.
( ) Evaluate if my life is hidden in Christ from the world’s
perspective, or if Christ is hidden in me.
