The Daily Word of Righteousness
In My Father's House, #9
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty 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, far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: (Ephesians 1:19-21)
Jesus desires to receive you to Himself so that where He is, there you may be also. Why? Because He loves you so intensely He wants you to be with Him forever.
Where is the Lord Jesus? He is at the right hand of God in Heaven. But this is not the most important truth concerning the Lord Jesus.
Gabriel stands in the Presence of God. Christ is seated at God's right hand, making Him far greater than Gabriel in authority and power.
Christ's superior authority and power are not the principal difference between Christ and Gabriel.
The principal difference between Christ and Gabriel is that Christ is the only begotten Son of the Father, and the Father dwells eternally in the Son and the Son in the Father. The Son is of the Substance, the Nature, of the Father. The Son is the only true and perfect Revelation of the Father.
God never will dwell in Gabriel—not for the eternity of eternities; but God dwells forever in Christ. It is the fact that Christ is the House, the Dwelling Place of the Father that is of supreme importance.
Every believer is, through Christ, at the right hand of the Father.
If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things that are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God. Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth. For ye are dead, and your life is hid with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:1-3)
We now are at the right hand of God. When the trumpet sounds and the Lord Jesus appears in the clouds of glory, the bodies of the conquering saints will rise from the grave, be transformed, and ascend to meet the Lord Jesus in the clouds of the air.
But as glorious as these facts are, they are not the central issue of the Kingdom of God.
The central issue of the Kingdom of God is that we stand in relationship to Christ as He stands in relationship to the Father. We are being created as part of the Oneness existing only in the Godhead (John 17:21-23).
That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. (John 17:21-23)
