Jesus isn’t hanging on a cross. Jesus is seated on a throne.

Please don’t misinterpret what I’m trying to say. Thank God for the cross! It’s the place where we find forgiveness. It’s the place where we find grace. It’s the place where we find love. But we don’t just kneel at the foot of the cross. We also kneel before the throne of God.

Jesus was raised from the dead on the third day and he ascended to the right hand of the Father. He is seated on His throne and all authority under heaven is His. And that authority is ours because we are in Christ.

I love Jeremiah 17:12: “A glorious throne set on high from the beginning is the place of our sanctuary.” Our sanctuary is the throne of God. That is where we find peace and power. That is where we find the confidence to go where God wants us to go and do what God wants us to do. The more time you spend kneeling before the throne the more peace and power you’ll have. Period.
