“And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.even”
John 3:13 KJV
As John the beloved disciple recorded Jesus’s words, “No one has risen into the heavenly realm except the Son of Man Who also exists in heaven.” Jesus shares a mystery with Nicodemus. While He was on earth ministering, Jesus was also in heaven in the spirit realm. Being in the two places at the same time is also the privilege given to every believer. We are seated with Christ in the heavenly realm and living our earthly life to please Him. This is what it means to be “in Christ”. He raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus. “If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is our life appears, then you also will appear with Him in glory”, Paul writes. In the realm of the Spirit, heaven and earth is one. Jesus is telling Nicodemus that only those who are seated in the heavenly realm will understand spiritual truths. May we understand the depth of what Jesus tells us personally through His Word. Amen!
