Seated in Glory with Jesus.

 Seated in Glory with Jesus

A Reflection on Ephesians 2:6, Colossians 3:1-3, and Revelation 3:21

Seated in glory with Jesus—not a future hope alone,

But a present, living reality before the Father's throne.

Though I walk this earth in weakness, though my feet are dust and clay,

In Christ, I am already seated in the heavenlies today.

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus. (Ephesians 2:6)

Seated—not striving, not climbing, not earning a place,

But resting in the finished work of His unmerited grace.

The battle has been won; the victory is secure.

My position is not earned by works, but by the Lamb who is pure.

In glory—where the light of God outshines the sun,

Where every tear is dried, and every race is run.

Yet this glory is not distant; it is the atmosphere

Of every heart that trusts in Jesus and abandons every fear.

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. (Colossians 3:1-2)

So I lift my eyes from my circumstances, from the struggle and the strife.

I fix my gaze on Jesus, the Author of my life.

I am not a beggar searching for a crumb beneath the table.

I am a child of the King, seated in glory, fully able

To reign in life through the One who loved me and gave Himself for me.

Seated in glory with Jesus—I will not be moved.

Though the earth gives way and mountains fall into the sea,

My soul is anchored in the heavenlies, eternally approved.

For Christ has overcome, and He has shared His victory.

To the one who is victorious, I will give the right to sit with Me on My throne, just as I was victorious and sat down with My Father on His throne. (Revelation 3:21)

So I reign in life—not by my power, but by His grace.

I walk in victory, I run my race,

My heart is fixed on things above,

Where Christ is seated—my life, my love.

Amen.
