Looking Up
“Wherefore God also hath highly exalted Him, and given Him a name which is above every name” (Philippians 2:9).
“We see Jesus … crowned with glory and honour” (Hebrews 2:9).
While it is true that we look back to Calvary to see the foundation of all our blessings, yet we also have the profound privilege of looking up by faith to see where the Lord Jesus is now. In doing so we realize, first of all, God the Father’s satisfaction with all that was accomplished for His glory here on earth. Secondly, it produces worship, praise, and thanksgiving, as we are occupied with a risen, ascended, and glorified man at the right hand of God. Thirdly, we can avail ourselves of all the resources that are ours for this life. And, fourthly, we can rejoice as we look forward to the moment when we too shall be there in the Father’s house to be with the one who is at this moment is “set down at the right hand of the throne of God” (Hebrews 12:2).
What a Savior! What an occupation for our hearts!
