Christ Ascended
Ephesians 4:10
The Upward Look
by Max D. Hutto,
“He who descended is the one who also ascended far above all the heavens, that he might fill all things.)” Ephesians 4:10 ESV
After descending to the earth, Christ ascended to the highest possible place above all, the glorious heavenly places. Jesus, the victorious Savior and Redeemer, took His place as the sovereign regal King of Kings and Lord of Lords. From His exalted position Jesus is able to fulfill all things, carrying out the Father’s work in saving and giving gifts to every believer. According to the whole passage, Christ gives spiritual gifts for equipping and building up the body of Christ, the church, to walk in His ways.
Lord Jesus, as the supreme power and the sovereign ruler above all, I yield my life to serve You. May all that I do and say bring You glory and honor, my ascended King.
