Question 51. What profit is this glory of Christ, our head, unto us?
Answer: First, that by his Holy Spirit he pours out heavenly graces upon us his members (a); and then that by his power he defends and preserves us against all enemies (b).
(a) Acts 2:33: Being therefore exalted at the right hand of God, and having received from the Father the promise of the Holy Spirit, he has poured out this that you yourselves are seeing and hearing.
Eph.4:8 Therefore it says, “When he ascended on high he led a host of captives, and he gave gifts to men.”
(b) Ps.110:2 The LORD sends forth from Zion your mighty scepter. Rule in the midst of your enemies!
John 10:28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand.
For your personal reflection:
Jesus is just as active today as He was when He walked this earth. Right now, He reigns over the universe. Right now, He is at work bringing about the defeat of all His enemies.
How does the truth of the current rule and reign of Christ work itself out in your life?
Do you have any conscious awareness on a daily basis that in all things Christ is King?
