Whilst I was worshipping the other night God dropped this phrase into my head.
The Cross is empty
The Tomb is empty
The Throne is NOT empty
I thought God might be trying to remind me of a few things.
He has died and has risen and now sits on the throne (Hebrews 12 vs 2)
In these days of uncertainty He is in control cos He sits on the Throne.
I heard a sermon recently on getting Heavens perspective on what is going on here on Earth. We can only get that from someone who totally understands humanity i.e. the Creator and who can look in from the outside. JESUS is the one who has died here on earth was buried here on earth rose again here on earth (with a short visit to hell see 1Peter ch 3 vs 18 - 23 ) but ascended into Heaven to give us that perspective. How easy it is to look around for answers, to look within for answers but not to look up.
I believe the Throne also reminds us that we need to see things with spiritual eyes. Jesus, no longer physically here on earth, sits at the right hand of the Father on His throne Matthew 19:27-29 and 1 John 2:1-3 praying for us, has left us His Spirit the Holy Spirit to see things with His eyes, with spiritual eyes.
It makes me just want to worship the unique God, Lord of Lords and King of Kings who sits on the throne and showers us with heavenly love and blessing.
Wow! Wow! Wow! (there's not enough wow's in worship songs!!! don't you think?)
