All Authority in Jesus

“Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints.”

EPHESIANS 1:15-18

Ponder This

We have something Adam never had. Adam was innocent, but we are righteous. Adam was there in the Garden of Eden, where He had fellowship with God, and he sinned. But you and I have the Lord Jesus Christ as a part of us. Don’t think of the Church now as an organization with Christ as the president: the Church is an organism. It is a body with Christ as the head, and what is true about the Lord Jesus Christ is true about you. Jesus did not defeat Satan on his own behalf. He defeated Satan on our behalf. So, we have been co-executed, co-risen, co-exalted, and co-enthroned with the Lord Jesus Christ. He became a son of man so that we might become sons of God. He took our sins so that we might be innocent. He became guilty so that we might be acquitted. He was filled with despair so that we might be filled with joy. He took our shame so that we might take His glory. He endured the pains of Hell so that we might have the blessings of Heaven. The Lamb has triumphed. He has prevailed, and therefore He says to His church, “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth. Go therefore” (Matthew 28:18-19).

Does Jesus have authority over Satan? So do you. Are demons subject to Jesus? They’re subject to you too. Satan hopes you never learn this. And God help you to know that your dominion which was legally lost was rightfully regained by Jesus and has now been gloriously given.

• How does your inheritance in Christ equip you to share the Gospel?
• What would change if you regularly remembered your inheritance?

Practice This

Write down the different things you have as an inheritance in Christ. Consider how those things can equip you to share the gospel with others.
