KEY SCRIPTURE:1Ti 2:5 KJV” For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;”

Our key scripture shows us that our Lord Jesus is the only mediator between God and men. It ends with the phrase the man Christ Jesus( please note that although He is a man, He is yet completely God). What is the significance of this statement? Our Lord Jesus existed through eternity as the Word of God. John 1:1-3. In verse 14 of John 1, the bible said he took on flesh and lived among us, demonstrating to us the kind of life God has ordained for His children to lead. Heb 12:2 KJV Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; ……….” He was finally killed and resurrected to give us the very life that reigned in Him. We have His example and then have received the very life force that worked through Him. This is what the scripture calls Christ in you, the hope of Glory. He ascended bodily into heaven, not to revert back to His state as the word of God, but in the form of man.

This is very amazing. Why is He still maintaining the form as a man? The first thing to consider is that this is an act of God’s grace that makes Him function in heaven as our representative. He is a high priest who makes intercessions on our behalf. Heb 4:14. As our high priest, He enforces the word of God that we declare. Be assured that when you speak in consent to what God says, there is your representative before God who approves and, with the permission of the Father, sends angels to do what you have said.

As our representative, we, the body of Christ, are seated in Him. He bears our name, and whatever authority He has is ours. Eph 2:6 KJV “And hath raised us together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:” On earth, we also bear His name. There is an inseparable union between us and Jesus. His presence before the father has given all of us access to the presence of the father. We live on earth, but at the same breath, we are vitally living in heaven. If there are any people holding the highest authority on the earth, then it is you and me, the Christians. A lack of a perception of this makes a number of Christians pray without knowing the potency of their prayer. When you pray on the earth, it is just as the Lord Jesus whispering into the Father’s ears. Every prayer that is not of the flesh and said in Jesus’ name is always answered, because Jesus is there in our name. All that has been said above is just a bit of why Jesus is still in heaven in the form of a man.

THOUGHT: OUR LORD JESUS IN HEAVEN HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED WHO WE ARE IN THIS WORLD
