Ephesians 2:6
6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,
An absolutely wonderful young lady at Hope Church went on a trip to Italy to support a church in Rome. I jealously asked her about the food and she hated it. She just wanted Olive Garden. Say what you will about her palate, she is an American girl with American appetites. Where you’re from matters.
The first part of Ephesians 2 talked about what we were. When Paul describes our passionate desires against God and our following of the Enemy, he uses the past tense. We were like that, but we are now raised up and seated with Jesus in the heavenly places. We now have access to a new country, we have a seat at a new table. It may take some time to acclimate your appetites to Italy, but let me tell you, it’s better than Olive Garden.
Prayer prompt: Lord, I am now Yours forever. Help me to right now, desire Jesus more than the world.
