To Sit Together With Christ

Now, this evening we want to examine the phrase in verse 6 – "He made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ". What does this mean? For we are not now literally physically sitting together with Christ in the heavenly places. And so what can Paul mean by his speaking in this way? It means 3 things I believe. 1st – It means that God has literally spiritually raised us up with Christ and seated us with Him in the heavenly places. 2nd – It means that God will someday literally physically seat us with Christ in the Day of the Resurrection. And 3rd – It means that God's seating us with Christ is the prelude for what He will do for us throughout all eternity. I pray that together we might grasp the greatness and the glory of all that God has purposed to do for those who He has had mercy upon.
