High Position; Lowly Walk*

Beloveds, how royal we are! Because of the blood, we have been declared holy and blameless, we have an inheritance in heaven, we are seated in the heavenly places with Christ. And that's just the tip of the iceberg! Underneath the water's surface, our inheritance is so vast, so rich, so mysterious, it's incomprehensible.

In sharp contrast, life on earth, as a follower of Christ, is polar opposite! It's a lowly call and a lonely walk. Picture the cross. That's your life!!! In Luke 9:23 Jesus said, "If anyone wishes to come after Me, he must deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow Me.

In Phil 2 Paul says that we are to take the form of a bond-servant and become obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.

That's radical obedience. That's a humble walk. So, don't be surprised with the plans God has for you. It's lowly, but it leads to eternal life.

Many want heaven, but they don't want the cross. Choose Christ. Choose the cross.

I love you.
