Be Seated

And [God] hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places

in Christ Jesus

~ Ephesians 2:6 ~

 

A seat is a place of rest. When we sit in a chair, we put trust in that chair that it can

support all of our weight for as long as we sit in it. We do not expect that the chair

will only hold up part

of our weight and that we somehow will have to bear the rest

of the load ourselves. No, we trust the chair can bear the entire amount by itself.

Likewise, when we are seated in Christ Jesus, we place all of our trust in Him, that

no matter what is going on within us, no matter how heavy the load on our minds

and hearts, no matter the difficulties we seem to have, Jesus is more than capable

of upholding us and causing us to more clearly understand our real need in life.

This is the place of rest that our souls hunger for and greatly need.

Jesus says, Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give

you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in

heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is

light (Matt 11:28-30).

And being fully persuaded that, what he [The Lord our God] had promised, he was

able also to perform (Romans 4:21).

Come to Christ, learn of Him, and when we are fully persuaded that all God

promised in Christ Jesus is ours by grace through faith and are truly seated in Him,

we will have rest for our souls.
