“We Are Seated With Him”

Acts 5:31; Colossians 3:1-4; Romans 8:34; Ephesians 2:6 

Jesus came from glory; He therefore has a right to glory.  He is lifted high and exalted at his Father's right hand as God promised Him. He was Jehovah God when He spoke everything into existence; He is the Mediator for all saints; He is our closest family member and dearest friend by the union He instituted. When we, by faith, receive Him, we become one with him; That’s Atonement. We are actually members of His body, when He moves, we move, and when we move, He moves. When He is lifted up in exaltation, we are too. He wears a crown, given to Him by His Father, He will give us crowns also. Jesus sits at the right hand of His Father on a throne, and what is so especially wonderful, he wants to share his throne with us, I am amazed! And on the right hand of Christ is His bride, that is us, born again believers, and we are arrayed in fine gold; His glorification could not be made complete without His bride, the church. Look and behold the splendor of our Saviour, for one day we will be known as we are known.

We will share in all that is His, His honors, His dignity, and thank God, all that is His happiness. Down here we are nothing, it is Him in us that makes us what we are; but over there, we will reign with Him in His kingdom, as priests and kings, and not for a short period, but forever and ever. Christ, our redeemer, represents and intercedes for us there.

“Joy Unspeakable”

Christ is there in Heavens Courts, 

taking care of lives’ reports;

Soon He will appear, in the air,

to receive us home, to dwell with Him there; 

All of His glory He’ll deploy,

And with Him we’ll reign in unspeakable joy.

Bible Reading Schedule: 1 Kings 3-4

Weekly Memory Verses: 1 John 1:5-10 

5 This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.

6  If we say that we have fellowship with him, and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not the truth:

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship one with another, and the blood of Jesus Christ his Son cleanseth us from all sin.

8 If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.

9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and his word is not in us.
