This message is an exhortation to the christian to start each and every day by setting our affections on Jesus Christ, our risen Savior.-The preacher is attempting to encourage us to do this with the knowledge that Christ has given us the victory and enabled us to do as we are instructed in this text. Bro. Wesley points out first, that we get to set our affections on things above, then we ought to set our affections there, and thirdly, we will have our affections on Heavenly things throughout all eternity.
