Paul urges all believers to set our affection on that which is above. What is above? Christ is there. And he is sitting at the right hand of the father. This is the eternal glorification of Christ from eternity past. To sit down at the right hand of the father indicates that man has now been brought before the throne of God. The glorification of Christ means that we can now be supplied with God’s life.
Paul urges us to seek, and to set our mind on the Christ, who is above. We no longer are chained to the things which are below. Those are the negative things that he mentioned in Colossians 2 : the sin, the guilt and condemnation, the powers and principalities, the culture, the teaching, the philosophy, the religion, and on, and on! Do not set your affection there, but set your heart up on the Christ.
Why? Because the throne of glory is the source from where we receive the supply of all of God‘s life that has been purposed for us from eternity past. All the riches of God, all that God desires a man to be on the Earth, to live on the Earth, the reality of all things on the Earth. All of it is in this Christ now seated beside the father above. This is where we need to set our heart, because this Christ, seated on this thrown is from whence all of what God desires for us flows from.
Jesus intimated that he wanted to get inside man and be his satisfying supply : "Jesus stood and cried out, saying, If anyone thirsts, let him come to Me and drink. He who believes into Me, as the Scripture said, out of his innermost being shall flow rivers of living water. But this He said concerning the Spirit, whom those who believed into Him were about to receive; for the Spirit was not yet, because Jesus had not yet been glorified." (John 7:37-39)
So In order for Jesus to be your constant daily supply he must be exalted on the throne!
Eventually in Acts 2 the Holy Spirit came and here’s what Peter had to say about that, "This Jesus God has raised up, of which we all are witnesses. Therefore having been exalted to the right hand of God and having received the promise of the Holy Spirit from the Father, He has poured out this which you both see and hear." (Acts 2:32-33)
Jesus ascended into heaven and was glorified at the right hand of the father. Then the father gave Jesus something. The father gave him the Holy Spirit as promised. The father GAVE Him to Jesus! Why? Because Jesus was now glorified and all of his person and life could now be mixed into the Holy Spirt. "So also it is written, “The first man, Adam, became a living soul”; the last Adam became a life-giving Spirit." (1 Corinthians 15:45).
So brothers and sisters this is the Spirit that was poured out up on all the followers and Believers of Jesus. The Holy Spirit contains the very life of Jesus Christ as the Spirit. if you have theSpirit of God, you must have the indwelling Christ who is now seated at the right hand of the Father.
So from your spirit, set your heart above, not on things below,, and receive right now the thrones’ supply.
