“[W]ho has gone into heaven and is at God’s right hand – with angels, authorities and powers in submission to him” (1 Peter 3:22).
Only He who descends can ascend. The Lord has come so that all who join in and through Him may join with Him in a resurrection like His. All authority in heaven and upon earth belong to Jesus. Do you see who it is that has come enabling you to have the abundant and eternal life? This same Lord has called you by name in order that you may be where He is. Join with Him and live true life.
Lord, You know the struggle of living in this age. There are those all around me – and sometimes it is me – who fight against the godliness You have established. Lead me, O Lord, to be grounded in You knowing that all authority is Yours. You have descended that we may ascend. You are the way to joining in eternity and live the life we were meant to live.
Lord Jesus, You have told us that You are the way, truth, and life. Guide me always to see You more clearly each day and follow as You lead. The world may tug at me, but Your promises are always before me. Lead me in the promise of the salvation You have given in order that I may humbly walk with You, my Lord and Master, all the days of my life, living into the eternal life You have given me. Amen.
