In his letter to the\nEphesians Paul explains it this way: \u201c<em>He raised Him from the dead and seated\nHim at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and\npower and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this\nage but also in that which is to come<\/em>\u201d (Ephesians 1:20\u201321, NKJV). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus Christs has been placed in a position of great glory\nat God\u2019s right hand, and this is far above all other authorities that exist in\nthe universe. The author of the book of Hebrews explains it this way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>You have made him a little lower than the angels; You\nhave crowned him with glory and honor, and set him over the works of Your\nhands. You have put all things in subjection under his feet.\u201d For in that He\nput all in subjection under him, He left nothing that is not put under him. But\nnow we do not yet see all things put under him. But we see Jesus, who was made\na little lower than the angels, for the suffering of death crowned with glory\nand honor, that He, by the grace of God, might taste death for everyone<\/em>\u201d\n(Hebrews 2:7\u20139, NKJV). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Jesus Christ is the God-man. But never forget that He is a\nman with a human glorified body. He is the first person to receive his\nglorified body and He has His place in heaven as our forerunner. He is the\nguarantee that all of those that belong to Him through faith will also have\ntheir place in heaven with Him. He is our anchor behind the veil. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201c<em>This hope we have as an anchor of the soul, both sure\nand steadfast, and which enters the Presence behind the veil, where the\nforerunner has entered for us, even Jesus, having become High Priest forever\naccording to the order of Melchizedek<\/em>\u201d (Hebrews 6:19\u201320, NKJV). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the Old Testament the temple has a veil separating the\ntwo parts. The part behind the veil where God was could not be entered by\nanyone except the High Priest and then only once a year. That veil ripped in\ntwo from top to bottom on the day Christ was crucified. The earthly temple was\na model of what is in heaven. This passage in Hebrews tells us that the way is\nnow open. Jesus Christ is already there as our forerunner and our anchor behind\nthe veil. All who belong to Him will have their place with Him in a glorified\nbody some day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Christ is central and supreme because He is the One who\nobtained eternal redemption for us through His sacrifice on the cross and is\nnow seated as sovereign in heaven, and every knee will bow before Him\n(Philippians 2:10).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Link to video on youtube: <a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/7979yF2hm6s\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/7979yF2hm6s<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because of Christ\u2019s Successful Mission, God has Highly exalted Him.&nbsp; We read in Philippians that because of Jesus\u2019 obedience \u201cTherefore God also has highly exalted Him and given Him the name which is above every name\u201d (Philippians 2:9, NKJV).
