Jesus Standing

Jesus Standing…

Acts 7:55 Stephen sees Jesus standing at the right hand of God. But Ephesians 1:20 says Jesus was seated at the right hand of God. Is there a contradiction? What’s the explanation?

Stephen is bearing witness while he’s being stoned to death and calling for forgiveness of his murderers. The Lord couldn’t sit for that. He rose to His feet as one rises for a standing ovation. As if to say, “Well done My good and faithful servant. Enter the joy of your Master.”

He sits on His throne, but He rises to His feet when He sees a man love his enemies, when He sees you triumph in salvation, when He sees you have victory over that sin.

When He sees you rise up, He will rise to see it. When He sees you overcoming in love and mercy–when He sees you living a life of greatness. It will cause your Lord and Master to stand.

So do something extraordinary this week. Do something great in God, something that’s going to cause the One seated at the right hand of God to stand up.

He gave him no inheritance here, not even enough ground to set his foot on. But God promised him that he and his descendants after him would possess the land, even though at that time Abraham had no child. Acts 7:5

Do something today that will not only bless Jesus but would cause Him to stand up.

Walk daily with God at your side!

Love always,
