The Son radiates God’s own glory and expresses the very character of God, and he sustains everything by the mighty power of his command. When he had cleansed us from our sins, he sat down in the place of honor at the right hand of the majestic God in heaven. Hebrews 1:3
I love how God teaches me something during the week and then reiterates in again!
In bible study this past week I became educated about the placement of Christ, and then Hebrew 1:3 was my bible verse this morning to wish me “Good morning”.
Priscilla Shirer, in The Armor of God study, mentioned the following:
In ancient times, being “seated” was the symbolic posture of a king whose army had already been victorious in battle. Instead of standing, pacing, worrying himself to death, he would park himself on his throne as a visible statement of his complete and utter triumph. (page 20)
Dear friend, did you notice where the bible, the Book of Truth, pronounced what Jesus is doing now? After Christ died and rose again for us, He is now SITTING at the right hand of God. Glory!
Take a moment and allow that to perforate in your thoughts. The. Battle. Is. Already. Won!
“I have told you these things so that you can have peace in me. In this world you will have troubles. But be brave! I have defeated the world!” John 16:33
When you are going through those trials that will come your way, take heart, find peace, secure yourself in His arms and love, and feel His mighty power with you each step of the way.
Feel the triumph!
I pray that you will enjoy soaking up The Son every moment of each day. –Stephanie
