… even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus … (Ephesians 2:5-6)
Daily reading: Isaiah 53
Faith lifts us into a doxology reason cannot chart. Ephesians shows believers simultaneously seated with Christ in the heavenlies (Ephesians 2:5-6) and walking among men, turning former paths of sin into good works prepared by God (Ephesians 2:2,10). Human logic balks—how can one occupy throne-room glory and city streets at once? But worship replies, “Hallelujah! His thoughts soar higher than the skies” (see Isaiah 55:9). Our upward position displays the immeasurable riches of His grace, our outward mission spreads them (Ephesians 2:7).
