The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him in Ephesians 2:6-7,
"God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus."
Here is an amazing thought: there will be ages coming, and in those ages we will be God's very own children, adopted by him, brought into his family through the price Jesus Christ paid on our behalf. Having satisfied the justice of God the Father, Jesus Christ has made it possible that we be seated together with him in his lofty place in heaven!
All of this is just amazing to me as I consider it. And yet, there is more! We will be the very objects that demonstrate God's unsurpassed, transcendent kindness! We will be the living proof of the riches of God's grace! It is beyond my comprehension that those of us who have embraced Jesus Christ in faith, who all have been born into a lost and fallen world, cursed by God, the offspring of a race of people who live in sin and rebellion against him should find themselves the recipients of such wonderful favor from our loving and merciful God!
It simply staggers the mind, doesn't it?!
