THE EXALTATION OF CHRIST

 THE EXALTATION OF CHRIST

Jesus was born in Bethlehem

He died at Calvary. 

He was raised from the dead on the third day.

He ascended into heaven. 

And He was seated at the right hand of majesty on high.

Basic Bible truths.

Some good related passages to read are Romans 8:34 and I Peter 3:21-22 and Hebrews 1:1-3.

The role of a mediator was three fold: prophet, priest and king. We must remember that Jesus is not seated in glory merely as our King; but He is forever our prophet and priest. As a prophet, He sent His Spirit to guide us and teach us and empower us (John 14:26 and 16:7-15). The completed Scriptures are the result of Christ’s prophetic ministry in heaven.

As a priest He was seated because His work of sacrifice was done. The offering and sacrifice has been made but He now lives forever to make intercession for His people. Jesus Christ, right now, is your advocate and intercessor. Read Hebrews 7:25 and I John  2:1-2.

As king, He must reign until all His enemies are put under His feet. (I Corinthians 15:25). And then the end shall come. As Philippians 2:9-11 declares that “every knee will bow, every tongue will confess, those in heaven, those on earth and even those in Hell, that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”

There will always be a connection between His death, resurrection, ascension and enthronement as King of Kings and Lord of Lords! That is where our home and citizenship are!
