If you then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sits on the right hand of God.
All Commentaries on Colossians 3:1 Go To Colossians 3
John Chrysostom
AD 407
He brings them together, having above established that He died. Therefore he says, If then you were raised together with Christ, seek the things that are above. No observances are there. Where Christ is seated on the right hand of God. Wonderful! Whither has he led our minds aloft! How has he filled them with mighty aspiration! It was not enough to say, the things that are above, nor yet, where Christ is, but what? seated on the right hand of God. From that point he was preparing them henceforward to see the earth.
