Enthroned!

And we are seated with Him.

Hebrews 1 (5)

Introduction
Only the Word of God – only Jesus – rules at the Father’s right hand, wielding all authority in heaven and on earth, to build His Church and advance His Kingdom. And we are seated there with Him.

Read Psalm 110.

Read Hebrews 1.13

Think it through.

1.  Meditate on John 13.3 and Matthew 28.18. What does this mean? What kind of authority is this? How does this authority relate to what we read in Hebrews 1.3? Were the Hebrew Christians to whom this book was addressed flowing with that authority or drifting out from under it? Explain. What about you? How would you be able to tell when you were drifting away from this authority? What should you do then?

2.  Meditate on Ephesians 2.6. In what sense are we seated with Christ in the heavenly places? What kind of perspective on our lives and times does that provide? How does being seated here obligate us? How is God the Father putting Christ’s enemies under His feet? Do we have a role in this? 

Meditate.
“He is truly omnipotent and merciful who blessed what was damned, restored what was lost, freed what was subject, rendered our miseries strangers to us, and through his death made it possible for humanity to live, an immortal creature, which the devil had caused to die.” Cassiodorus (485-580 AD)

But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), and raised us up together, and made ussit together in the heavenly placesin Christ Jesus, that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in Hiskindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2.4-7

O Lord Jesus Christ, enthroned in glory, grant me today by Your authority, power to…

Pray Psalm 45.1-7
Pray that, as Jesus goes forth in power, to build His Church and advance His Kingdom, you might go with Him, in meekness, righteousness, and truth..

Psalm 45.1-7 (Manoah: When All Your Mercies, O My God)
O my heart, let now a pleasing theme overflow to praise the Lord; 
My song I pledge to You, my King, and dedicate my words. 

You of all men are the fairest, Lord, and Your lips are flush with grace; 
Thus God has blessed You evermore before His holy face. 

Your sword gird on Your thigh, O Lord, in splendid majesty; 
Ride out, resplendent in Your Word, to glorious victory. 

For meekness and for righteousness Your Right Hand shall prevail. 
Your foes shall come to deep distress when You their souls assail. 

Your throne, O God, is evermore, and upright is Your reign; 
Though wicked men Your soul abhor, Your righteousness must gain.
