Where Is He Now?

2 min read · Chapter 10 of 16

The tomb could not hold Him; He could not see corruption. The Father raised Him from the dead and after He showed Himself alive after His passion, He was received up into Glory.
What a scene it must have been in heaven when He came again into the presence of the Father.
He had passed through the heavens, upon that cloud, which took Him out of sight of the gazing disciples, and He was ushered into the presence of God's throne; that glorious Throne, the great center of the universe. How full of wonder the angelic hosts must have been as He returned to the Father. They knew Him there in heaven before He took upon Himself the form of man. They had gazed upon Him when He was down on the earth. They were with Him in the desert during His journeys; with Him in His toil and service. He might have commanded a legion of angels in that hour when the power of darkness came upon Him. How they must have watched Him as He hung upon that cross. They were present when the resurrection morn dawned and they gave the disciples that good and glorious news that He would come again in like manner.
What must it have been to the Father, our loving God and Father, the God and Father of the Lord Jesus Christ, when His beloved Son returned to Him?
He had given Him up. He smote Him on that cross as He stood in the sinner's place, but now the Son arrives back to the Father and appears in His presence in the form of a Man, the glorified Man. A human being with a body of glory, but still a body of flesh and bones, and He comes into the presence of the throne of God, for He is Son of God raised from among the dead; the Head of a new creation. How unspeakably grand and glorious it must have been when He came thus to the Father.
He advanced to that Throne and the Father welcomed Him.
"Sit on My right hand until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool.""Thou art a priest forever after the order of Melchisedec." Heb. 1:13; 5:6 And surely amid the shouts and praises of the heavenly hosts, He sat down.
Where is He now? He is back there with the Father, He is in the Father's presence as the glorified Man.
Did God do even more in that great welcome to Him, the One with the body in which the nail prints were still seen?
Yes, He did!
God appointed Him heir of all things.
God made Him heir of all creation. He gave into the hands of that glorified Man the entire universe. All power in heaven and on earth He gave to the Son of His Love.
How rich is He then?
All creation belongs to Him. He is the rightful Lord over all.
And what else does this One possess?
