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. 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 (Colossians 3:1-4)
Don’t be surprised if you find that some of your new words and actions sometimes get lost in translation to those who still live in this present darkness. You have literally been ‘translated’ into a new world!
He has delivered us from the power of darkness and translated us into the kingdom of the Son of His love, in whom we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins. (Colossians 1:13-14)
Our task is to translate our new heavenly thoughts into actions, by helping those around us to want to join the family. When they see or hear things they don’t fully understand, like joy in times of trouble or peace amidst the chaos, it gives them a glimpse into the new world you’re living in.
The Lord will use us if we let Him. When we share His Word among the lost and broken, He will make sure that it won't be lost in translation!
