Title: Christ Is Like No Other
I have Been Raised With Christ, Raised To Life
Verse: Matthew 4:23-24 (NIV)
Supporting Verse: Col. 3: 1- 2

1. Set your hearts on things above.
the good news was fulfilled.

What is the good news?
-The gospel life, death and ressurrection of our Savior and Lord Jesus Christ.

Fall of man (Forbidden Fruit)
Gen 3: 13- 21

Why do they occur?
1. The world that we are living in is a fallen and dying world, the land was cursed bec. of sin, it becomes corrupted and eventually will perish.

2. Pain, sufferings, sicknesses, afflictions are permitted by God through the enemy to accomplish His very purpose. Like for examples what happened to Joseph, Job, the Israelites and many others.

What does it mean that Christ is, seated at the right hand of God?

2. Christ is seated at the right hand of God.
the great work is fulfilled. He is now seated at the right hand of the father.

Right hand represents strength, power, authority, place of trust.
Matt. 28: 18, John 6: 30, John 20: 29, Matt. 4: 4, John 6: 63

3. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things.
the great redemptive act through Christ was fulfilled. Therefore live a Godly life.
God created us to rule over all His creation not to live in a failure life just to fit-in in this world.

What would God feel if we are grateful and we are using the gifts, talents and skills He had given us?
1. He is happy watching over you enjoying His gifts.
2. Proud of who you become.
3. And love seeing you doing the things that He entrusted you. And that will end up blessing you more because Stewardship is the heart of God.
Matt. 5: 16

Conclusion:
The good news about the kingdom of God tells us the blessed hope that we have in Christ Jesus.
Without Him, our life are meaningless and powerless. But the good news is, it is Finished, it is Fulfilled. Jesus is seated at the right of the Father and I've been raised with Christ, raised to life.
