Ephesians 1:20-21
If Back Room Power Plays Are Getting You Down
Recently, there seems to be an increase in backroom power plays among people. It is disturbing regardless of what person, political party, or entity you support. I suppose that’s why I find such joy in meditating on Jesus. He is the only one who is pure, and He is the ultimate one to whom we can look.
In addition, it also helps to remember that He is above all. Yes, Ephesians 1:20-21 clearly states that Jesus is seated at God’s right hand in the heavenly places, “far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.”
Aren’t those beautiful words on which to meditate? Jesus is above every rule and authority and power and dominion. ABOVE all. Above ALL. Do we get it? Christ is ABOVE ALL, not only in this age but also in the age to come. Hallelujah! And this is especially good news. He is our friend. He urges us to tell Him our needs. He offers to help when we call on Him. What a wonderful Savior.
Lord Jesus, You who are far ABOVE ALL rule and authority and power and dominions, we love and worship You.

If Power Plays Are Getting You Down
Recently, there seems to be an increase in power plays among people. It has been disturbing regardless of what person, political party, or company you support. I suppose that’s why I find such joy meditating on Jesus. He is the only one who is pure and He is the ultimate one to whom we can look. And, it never hurts to remember that He is above all. Yes, Ephesians 1:20-21 clearly states that Jesus is seated at God’s “right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.’” Think on that. Meditate on it. Jesus is above every rule and authority and power and dominion. ABOVE all. Above ALL. Do we get it? Christ is ABOVE ALL. And, this is especially good news. He is our friend. He urges us to tell Him our needs. He offers to help when we call on Him. What a wonderful Savior!
Lord Jesus, You who are far ABOVE ALL rule and authority and power and dominions, we love and worship You. Thank You for the reminder.

“May I talk to the manager, please?” The person with whom I was talking was friendly but didn’t have the authority for what I needed. At times, we may feel that we need advice or direction and family and friends are willing to help, but we need direction from someone higher up. In those times, Jesus is the right person to ask. Ephesians 1:20-21 says Christ is “seated at His (God’s) right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.’” If we have a situation that calls for the highest input, there is no one higher than Jesus. He is ABOVE all. And, this is the good news. He is our friend, brother, and bridegroom. He offers, “Tell me your needs. Let Me help you.” What a wonderful Savior!
Lord Jesus, You are ABOVE ALL powers and principalities and names; above all that constrains and binds us, above all our worries. We praise You!

“… Christ … seated at His (God’s) right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.’”
“May I see your manager?” Have you ever asked that of someone when you needed someone in power to help you?
Jesus Christ is seated at God’s right hand in the heavenly places. In case we don’t have a visual of where that is, Ephesians 1:20-21 clues us in.
Jesus is far above every rule and authority and power and dominion.
ABOVE all. Above ALL. Do we get it? Christ is ABOVE ALL. And, this is the good news. He is our friend, and brother, and bridegroom. He urges us, “Tell me your needs. Let Me help you.” What a wonderful Savior!
Lord Jesus, You who are ABOVE ALL powers and principalities and names; Above all that constrains and binds us. Above all our worries. We praise You!
