Christ Rose from the Dead and Ascended to the Highest.
Under every possible cruelty Christ changed a dishonoured death into a dignified diadem of higher life, and by the steps of a painful crucifixion at the rough hands of haughty men, He ascended to a preeminent coronation at the right hand of the highest majesty in the heaven of heavens.
`God…..raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come. And He put all things under His feet.` (Eph. 1: 20 – 22)
If Satan had known God`s plan through His Son`s death he would not have had Him crucified.
`we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, the hidden mystery which God ordained before the ages for our glory, which none of the rulers of this age knew; for had they known, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory.` (1 Cor. 2: 7 & 8)
But Christ rose from the dead and disarmed Satan and his demons, taking the `keys` of hell and of death.
`having disarmed principalities and powers, He made a public spectacle of them, triumphing over them in it.` (Col. 2: 15)
`Behold, I am alive forevermore….And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.` (Rev. 1: 18)
God the Father honoured and exalted His Son to the highest place and everyone will confess that He is Lord.
`God also has highly exalted Him and given Him a name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. ` (Phil. 2: 9 & 10)
