The higher you are up in society the more likely you'll have people making making fun of you, and trying to pull you down so this is a fascinating thought; being dead (to self) and hidden with Christ (does this mean Christianity is hidden?). It's important to get some context to this scripture reference so check out the rest of Colossians 3.
Being dead means dead to sins such as sexual immorality,impurity, lust, evil desires and greed, which is idolatry, anger, rage, malice, slander, lying and filthy language from your lips
and being hidden means that we clothe ourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience and bear with each other and forgive each another if any of us have a grievance against someone. In fact we're to forgive as the Lord forgave us.
And over all these virtues put on love, which binds us all together in perfect unity.
