Ephesians 1:20-23

How high do you want to go? Are you looking for a promotion? Or perhaps today you are discouraged because somebody else got the promotion. Well, if you know Jesus Christ as your Savior, you cannot go any higher. Do you know where you are according to Ephesians 1:20-23? You are seated with Jesus Christ in the heavenlies far above all things. Listen to the Word of God, “Which He wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and set Him at His own right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age, but also in that which is to come. And hath put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be the head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him that filleth all in all. And you.”

Chapter 2 verse 1 starts off with “And you.” I think it belongs at the end of verse 23. He did all of this for Jesus and He did all of this for you. Well, we have a living Savior. Verse 20 of Ephesians 1 says that God raised Him from the dead; a living Savior. We aren’t paying tribute to a dead person. Our services are not memorials. They are experiences of worship because we have a living Savior. We have a reigning Savior. God the Father set Jesus Christ at His own right hand. That’s the place of honor, authority and power. In the heavenly places a reigning Savior. And we are seated with Him there in the heavenlies. You see where you sit determines how you live! If you’re sitting in the oval office in Washington, you have certain privileges and responsibilities. If you’re seated on the throne in Buckingham Palace, you have certain privileges and responsibilities.

We have a reigning Savior and we’re seated with Him. We can’t go any higher, and we have a filling Savior. He is filling all in all. We as Christians can experience the fullness of Jesus Christ because we are seated with Him, the living Savior. You don’t need a promotion today. You can’t get any higher than in Jesus Christ.
