Patrikin – Kinship through The Father

“[K]now …the exceeding greatness of his power … Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places” – Ephesians 1:18-20

Jesus’ bodily resurrection was a game changer! He was raised, ascended, and took his place at the Father’s right hand in heavenly places!

But He’s is NOT the only one there – we are there, too!

“God raised us up and seated us in the heavens with Christ Jesus. – Ephesians 2:6 (Common English Bible)

Note the past tense.

How can I be sitting with Christ at God’s right hand if I’m here with you, or on the job, or fishing Saturday morning with my son?
Easy! Think of it this way. I am sitting in a chair at the library – my hands may be on the keyboard and my feet on the floor but these are no less seated for I am one body and I am seated.

Similarly, though I may be on this earth, because I am a member of Christ’s body I am just as seated as our Savior who took his rightful place with the Father.
