Raised Us Up - Ephesians 2:6-7

Ephesians 2:6-7 ESV 


and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.


How is it possible that we are seated with Christ on His throne, a yet remain on earth? Remember we are in the body of Christ. We are in both places because He sits on His throne and abides in our hearts. We have become a new creation in the order of Jesus Christ. We are fully man and have the fullness of God dwelling within us. 


The fullness of God was pleased to dwell in the man Jesus. Jesus is pleased to dwell in us. The Holy Spirit gives birth to the sons of God as He gave life to the man Jesus. He will bodily raise us as He raised Christ. 


The chasm between God and man has been reduced to the space between our inner man and our flesh.
