1 Peter 3:22

THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST

1st Peter 3:22. “Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.” THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST. When coming out of the water of a baptism ceremony There is a larger truth to tell which that one accompanies As Christ who died for sin and its full price, He has paid He was resurrected in three days – no longer among the dead.

His resurrection does declare the atoning work is done God raised Him from the dead, fully satisfied that His Son Has met every claim justice demands so that we are free The resurrection proves full justification now for me.

The door to heaven is open now, Christ has ascended on high He who suffered once for all for sin nevermore will die There in holy splendor seated at God’s right hand Is the only One in the universe who is truly God and Man.

All power above and below is under His jurisdiction There is no area of life that can avoid His interdiction He conquered the powers of darkness when He defeated death And the universe is His dominion – all its height, its width and depth.

Every creature is subject to Him who gives to each their life Every authority of angels or men is exposed by His holy light That emanates from Him who is the Source – all comes from Him And the holy brightness of His Person never will grow dim.

“Holy God, under the authority of Him who is supreme, I bow and submit again this day to Thy divine will. May it be a true fact his day that I am doing that which pleases Thee. In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, Amen.”
