1. Ephesians 2:6-7

2. Raised Up:  Resurrection (Matthew 11: 5)  Lifted Up (Mark 5: 35-43)  Given a Higher Station (1 Kings 14: 7)  Brought on Like a Son (Psalm 80: 14-15)

3. Seated with Him:  Past tense – secure hope  In the heavenly realms (Eph 1:4) – eternally done  With Him, in Christ Jesus – it’s about being with Him

4. The plan(v7):  In the future everyone will see His grace  They will glorify His kindness  You are raised to show the miracle – made alive, lifted up to live, seated in the place of honour, brought up as His child.  You will reign to show the glory, wisdom and infinite compassion of God. Lift up your head!
