Beats From Your Pastor’s Heart:

Ephesians 1:9-10, “Having made known unto us the mystery of his will, according to his good pleasure which he hath purposed in himself:  That in the dispensation of the fulness of times he might gather together in one all things in Christ, both which are in heaven, and which are on earth; even in him:”

The phrase “having made known” is unto something.

That is, the mystery of God’s will was made known to Paul for the purpose of an administration of the fullness of the times to head up all things in Christ.

This means that in Paul’s vision the universe is under God’s administration; and God’s administration is centered in Christ and the church, His Body.

This universe is in a state of collapse because of Satan, sin, the flesh, and the world, which have sought to disorient and damage God’s creation.

Evil spirits and demons are also included with the satanic things ruining and spoiling man and corrupting the earth.

God made the universe with man in His image for Himself, but Satan came in to damage the man that God created.

However, the Lord became a man and came to this earth, not only to redeem us personally, but also to secure a footing in this universe to head it up and administrate it with Himself as Lord.

When we say, “Jesus is Lord!” we are saying that He is Lord over all as a God-Man on the throne of the universe.

He is the God-Man who glorified humanity in His own Person by living a perfect sinless life.

Then He was glorified in His body.

First Timothy 2:5 declares, “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.”

This means that when He came out of the grave, He was a resurrected Man.

He was God, but He was equally man; and He will remain a God-Man for eternity.

He will never lose His manhood.

He assumed it.

He put it on, never to put it off.

He took humanity to the throne and was seated there, and God made Him Lord and Christ in this universe.

Through His death, resurrection, and ascension, Jesus triumphed over principalities and powers, rising far above all, and was seated in the heavens.

The saints who were filled with the Holy Spirit on the day of Pentecost saw the ascended Christ and declared that He was Lord.

He headed us up in the Body, and made us one with Him.

Thus, as members of Christ we are a part of God’s administration.

Until Tomorrow,

With A Shepherd’s Love
