What a contrast between heaven and earth! See the place the earth has given the Lord Jesus Christ, God’s well-beloved Son! Measure all in this world by Christ. God’s controversy with the world is the place it gave Christ.
We know that we have part in an ascended Christ. We know that He is the One who has put away every spot of sin. We know that He is the One who will take us to the Father’s house. But are we letting what we know be seen—as it was in the life of Paul—as we pass through the wilderness?
