I [Jesus] will grant the one who conquers permission to sit with me on my throne, just as I too conquered and sat down with my Father on his throne. (Revelation 3:21)
When Jesus came to earth, Satan attempted a power grab.
Unexpectedly, Jesus bowed to the ordained slaughter. No one else dared to die on behalf of his abusers. There was not much of a skirmish and Satan gloated over the cross.
Only after Jesus breathed his last did God read out the rules. The seat of all glory would not go to the powerful, but to the humble.
As the first hint of light touched the Jerusalem sky on the third day, the supreme coronation began. Jesus rose from the grave. Following the ancient protocol, the King of Kings spent the next forty days making ready for his ascension to the throne. He showed his living body to hundreds, strengthened his disciples, and enjoyed his friends. On the appointed day, he rose into the air and God welcomed him to the seat above every dominion.
Having failed his first objective, the Devil turned to his second—the destruction of God’s creation and his children. That battle tarries on. If we live during this era aligned with the humble, victorious Jesus, we secure our freedom from Satan’s ploys.
Simply put—All authority rests on the sacred righthand seat, therefore we have everything because of where Jesus is seated.
Prayer: King Jesus, I kneel before your all glorious throne at God’s right hand.
