Question 49
Where is Christ now?
Ephesians 1:19–21
That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come.
According to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.
Prayer
Our God, we believe Christ died and rose again and is seated at your right hand. Three days after his death on the cross he rose from the dead, just as he had promised. We believe in his physical resurrection. We believe in eternal life. Help us, God, to remember eternity; stamp eternity on our eyeballs! Amen.
