Happy Ascension day
By taking His seat in heaven, Jesus received supreme authority and took charge of all things. The Bible says “God exalted Him to the highest place” (Philippians 2:9) and “seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. God placed all things under His feet” (Ephesians 1:20-22). So then, the Lord Jesus is seated in heaven. But what does it mean to say that we are seated in heaven with Him?
The Bible says that God exalted Jesus and seated Him in the heavenly realms. But that’s not all it says. The Bible also says, “God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.” Jesus’ ascension isn’t just something that happened to Him. It’s something that’s happened to all His people in some sense. To understand this, we need to know what the Bible means when it talks about being “with Christ” and “in Christ” and somehow joined to Christ so that what happens to him also happens to us.
He is Jesus The Hope of Glory
