Plato on His Head

Colossians 3:2 says: "Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth." By setting our minds on things above we will also be able to see the things above in the things below. Hebrews 922-23:
23Thus it was necessary for the copies of the heavenly things to be purified with these rites, but the heavenly things themselves with better sacrifices than these. 24For Christ has entered, not into holy places" made with hands, which are copies of the true things, but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God on our behalf.
The hymn says "turn your eyes upon Jesus and the things of earth will go strangely dim." But as a friend of mine says: "turn your eyes upon Jesus and the things of earth will grow strangely alive!" Take Plato and turn him on his head!

Amen, Brother! I love that scripture and also the song--"Turn your eyes upon Jesus"--I agree, that when you walk through this world with Jesus, everything has a different hue, and our eyes behold the daily intricacy of the world around us with a heavenly illumination. Good food for thought!
