Listen "613 “Raised Up with Christ: Grace That Lifts Us”"
Episode Synopsis
Wednesday, October 8th: In Part 3, John explores the elevation of grace: not only are we forgiven—we are raised and seated with Christ in the heavenly realms. This is more than poetic language. In the Greco-Roman world, to be seated with a king meant sharing in his victory and authority. Paul is saying that by grace, believers now participate in Jesus’ resurrection and reign. John connects this to the First Nations Version’s phrase “the highest place in the spirit-world,” reminding listeners that salvation is not just about avoiding hell—it’s about new life and new status. Grace doesn’t merely patch us up; it enthrones us beside Jesus. John helps us imagine what it means to live today as people who already have one foot in heaven—bearing witness to God’s kingdom on earth as trophies of His grace.Email me your questions, comments, and suggestions.
