Shalom,
Here is a powerful mediation for you today and beyond! THIS is OURS!
His Ascension And Our Union
And it came to pass, while He blessed
them, He was parted from them, and carried up into heaven. — Luke 24:51
We have no corresponding experience
to the events in Our Lord’s life after the Transfiguration. From then onwards
Our Lord’s life was altogether vicarious. Up to the time of the Transfiguration
He had exhibited the normal perfect life of a man; from the Transfiguration
onwards — Gethsemane, the Cross, the Resurrection — everything is unfamiliar to
us. His Cross is the door by which every member of the human race can enter
into the life of God; by His Resurrection He has the right to give eternal life
to any man, and by His Ascension Our Lord enters heaven and keeps the door open
for humanity.
On the Mount of Ascension the
Transfiguration is completed. If Jesus had gone to heaven from the Mount of
Transfiguration, He would have gone alone; He would have been nothing more to
us than a glorious Figure. But He turned His back on the glory, and came down
from the Mount to identify Himself with fallen humanity.
The Ascension is the consummation of
the Transfiguration. Our Lord does now go back into His primal glory; but He
does not go back simply as Son of God; He goes back to God as Son of Man as
well as Son of God. There is now freedom of access for anyone straight to the
very throne of God by the Ascension of the Son of Man. As Son of Man Jesus
Christ deliberately limited omnipotence, omnipresence and omniscience in
Himself. Now they are His in absolute full power. As Son of Man Jesus Christ
has all power at the throne of God. He is King of kings and Lord of lords from
the day of His Ascension until now.
HALLEUJAH!!! What is all included in what JESUS did for US will take us all of eternity to fully comprehend! Just begin with "This is the very best thing that could EVER happoen to me" and you will have started on the right track to carry you through all of eternity! Here is Hillsong UNITED with "All This Future":
Shalom in Him!
