there’s anything that we want in life, it is power. We always want to be on top
of our game, in the helm of affairs, make decisions for ourselves and if
possible make them for people. Man was designed to take charge and dominate,
Gen. 1:26-30 states this fact clearly. We are created in such a way as to
represent the power of God here on earth not by struggle or cajoling or
bargaining or diplomacy but by the sheer fact that we are like God.
The sad truth is we no longer
have that power as the mere men that we have become because of our fallen state
but there is hope and that hope is that we can become that which we once were
through JESUS! Our place of power was taken away by satan and Jesus took it
back from him by shedding his blood for us on the cross in the most beautiful
and swiftest exchange ever! God took the body of fallen man, turned ashes to
beauty, immortality took the place of mortality to give mortal man a place in
eternity. Divinity transformed into frailty just to bring man back to the place
of authority… SEATED IN HEAVENLY PLACES!
