I read this and it blew my mind…

We are not surprised that He is exalted and enthroned in the heavens. What is difficult for us to comprehend that we have been exalted with Him. Yet if “he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit” (1Cor. 6:17), it cannot be otherwise. We are not surprised that “all things have been put under HIS feet.” What we have failed to comprehend is that as part of Him, His body, all things are also legally beneath OUR feet… We have underestimated the supreme importance of the Church in God’s economy.

She (the Church) is the center and motive of all His activity from all eternity. He does nothing solely for His own sake. She is included as a full partner in all His plans. The Church is His Body, the fullness of Him that fills all things everywhere. He is not full or complete without His Church which is His Body. this is true because of God’s voluntary self-limitation. In the absolute, God is wholly self-sufficient. He needs nothing and can be served by no one. Yet He has chosen voluntarily to limit Himself in order that the Church may become His judicial equal. It is true that the Body cannot function without the Head. It is just as true that the Head, by His own choice, cannot function without the Body. Both are equally important to the accomplishment of His plan.   -Billheimer

“But God…brought us to life with Christ…And in union with Christ Jesus he raised us up and enthroned us with him in the heavenly realms” (Eph. 2:4-6).

He is the “Head over all things TO THE CHURCH” (Eph. 1:22).

“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me” (Gal. 2:20)

We are identified with the very Son of God, and He put us at the center of all creation. We are at the center and we are subject to Christ, and Christ to God.  -G. Campbell Morgan

What value God puts on his people!
