For you and I to experience all of God’s blessings, we must accept the authority of Jesus Christ. After all, Jesus is in charge. He is not only our Savior, but His is the Lord of all. Whether we accept His authority or not, it does not change the fact that He is ruling and reigning at the right hand of God in power and glory. Peter wrote in 1 Peter 3:22 (NLT):
Now Christ has gone to heaven. He is seated in the place of honor next to God, and all the angels and authorities and powers accept his authority.
Everything is in submission to Jesus, including creatures far greater than ourselves. Why don’t we recognize the authority of Christ? It is because of our sinful, rebellious nature. We want to be in charge. We want to call the shots. How our lives would change if we were to submit to the authority of Jesus. We would no longer fight against God, but would seek His will instead. We would no longer try to figure out how to lead our own lives, but rather we would let Christ be our leader. Humble yourself today under the authority of Jesus. See what a difference it makes to let Him take control as you navigate through life.
