Read Daniel 7:9-10 and 13-14
9 While I was looking, thrones were
put in place. One who had been living for ever sat down on one of the thrones.
His clothes were white as snow, and his hair was like pure wool. His throne,
mounted on fiery wheels, was blazing with fire, 10and a stream of
fire was pouring out from it. There were many thousands of people there to
serve him, and millions of people stood before him. The court began its
session, and the books were opened.
13 During this vision in the night,
I saw what looked like a human being. He was approaching me, surrounded by
clouds, and he went to the one who had been living for ever and was presented
to him. 14He was given authority, honour, and royal power, so that the
people of all nations, races, and languages would serve him. His authority
would last for ever, and his kingdom would never end.
Think
This passage gives us the heavenly perspective of what happens on
Ascension day, Jesus taking his place in the court of heaven. That he takes his place at a judgment seat is
a reminder that Jesus has the last word over all the injustice of the world.
Pray
Help me to remember that you Jesus are the Lord who will have the final
word over my life. Help me to love what
you love and live as you would have me live.
