2 Samuel 6:1-23; Nahum 1:1-15; Romans 13:1-14
If children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ. Romans 8:17
We are joint heirs with Christ. The word heir makes us think of coming into possession of an inheritance at someone’s passing. It seems strange to think that Christ, who made all things, needed to inherit anything. It’s all His. Then we realize He had to pay for His inheritance. Us, the church, His bride. We are His and His forever but He will not come fully into His inheritance until we are with Him. Then we will truly give Him the love, worship, adoration,
and devotion that we feebly try to give Him now. —Ken Gross
What will the sunshine of His glory prove?
What the unmingled fullness of His love?
What hallelujahs will His presence raise?
What, but one loud eternal burst of praise! —James Deck
