Morning Coffee

Seated With Christ

When Christ ascended, He transferred His authority to the Church. He is the Head of the Church, and believers make up the Body. Christ’s authority has to be perpetuated through His Body, which is on the earth. (Throughout Ephesians and elsewhere in the Epistles, Paul uses the human body as an illustration of the Body of Christ.) Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father—the place of authority—and we’re seated with Him. If you know anything about history, you know that to sit at the right hand of the king or pope means authority. We died with Christ, and we were raised with Him. This is not something God is going to do in the future; He already has done it! Matthew 28:18
Amen
