“SEATED WITH CHRIST”
One of the most amazing things uttered by our Lord Jesus Christ, was when he said, “Among them that are born of a woman, there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist”…. However even more amazing, was when he said that, “He that is least in the kingdom heaven is greater than John” (Matt. 11:11). The bible says that John was sent from God to bear witness of Jesus, and that he baptized people in the Jordan River (Jn. 1:6 – 8, 27, 28). How is it possible that the least in the kingdom is greater than John? Because John was never born again! He never experienced the new birth of what it was like to be one with Christ (Jn. 17:11, 20 – 26, I Pet. 1:23)!
We the church, the Body of Christ are one with God and have been raised up to be seated with Christ in the heavens to a high and exalted position in Christ (Eph. 2:6). He is the head and we are the body. Remember, greater is He that is in us, than he that is in the world (I Jn. 4:4). “HALELLUHIA, HALELLUHIA, HALELLUHIA”!
