As Christ was raised out the grave, so you have been raised up out of the death of sin, and therefore, you will not take pleasure in earthly things as you were once, but that which will be your rewards in Heaven, and also in your hearts. | |

The firey chariot (train) like a black caterpillar wandering around on the road, the men and women as little spots and, so, as you have risen with Christ will all the earthly things you were thinking so much of once look smaller until you will no longer care about them. As the higher you go, so much less they become, until they are forgotten altogether. As the greater the love we have for Jesus, and the more we think about our dwelling place in Heaven, the less pleasure we will have in silly things the people of the world think so much of. | |

We are not only to do that which is right, but to love the same such. | |

It is a very bad sign to be considering ourselves better than other people. You will often have doubtful things like that to reason uopn, but those that strive to enjoy the vain pleasures of the world as much as they can, they will often be in doubt. But if the heart and mind are set on things above us, the things that are pure and holy wont be the things they love most, and the doubtful things will not trouble you anymore. | |
