The Eastern Cross/Library/Homilies on Colossians
St. John Chrysostom preached through Colossians verse by verse, and these are his sermons as they were taken down. Each one explains a passage and then turns to how his listeners should live.
He keeps returning to one thought: if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above.
