Himself has accomplished the work for us
and has made peace in the blood of His cross. He only could do it.

3. The Son of God in resurrection. "He sat down on the right hand of
the Majesty on high, being made so much better than the angels as He
hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they." And
in verse 2 we read "Whom He (God) hath appointed heir to all
things."

All this is spoken of Him who had died on the cross and who raised
from the dead as glorified Man is at the right hand of the majesty
on high. What He is in that resurrection Glory we shall be with Him.
His Love does not stop short of this. The Glory the Father gave to
Him, He has given to us. He is the image of the invisible God,
because He is God. His redeemed people shall be transformed into His
image, that He might be the first born among many brethren. What a
thought this is! We shall image Him forth in all eternity, as He
images the invisible God. Into what depths we gaze!

Then in the second part of this chapter we find a description of His
exaltation and Glory. The Holy Spirit shows this marvelous theme
from His Word. He quotes from seven Psalms, that book which is one
of the most attacked in the present day. The Holy Spirit gives us a
key in these quotations how we should look for Christ in the Psalms.
What wickedness in face of such Scriptures to deny the messianic
prophecies contained in the Psalms. The Psalms quoted are the
following: "The ii; lxxxix (2 Sam. vii:14); xcvii; civ; xlv; cii and
cx." They reveal His Glory and in what His future Glory will exist.
And we shall share that exaltation with Him. We are destined to be
His Co-heirs. We shall rule with Him and shall be priests with Him.
He is higher than the angels in His resurrection Glory. He was made
a little lower than the angels that He could take us with Himself
into that place above the angels. All Glory and Praise to His Holy
Name. We worship and adore Thee, Thou Son of God, our Saviour and
Lord! What Glory awaits us! What dignity is ours! Oh, child of God,
you need just this one thing, to know Him better, to have the Holy
Spirit make Christ and the things of Christ, the future Glory more
real to your souls. Let Him do it. And soon we shall be with Him.

Lamb of God, Thy faithful promise
Says, "Behold, I quickly come;"
And our hearts, to Thine responsive,
Cry, "come, Lord, and take us home."
Oh, the rapture that awaits us
When we meet
