Scripture Meditation No. 1712
AATHAVAN – Wednesday, October 15, 2025
“…which
He brought about in Christ, when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at
His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and
power and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also
in the one to come.” — Ephesians 1:20–21 (NASB)
Jesus
Christ—greater than the temple, greater than Jonah, Solomon, and Moses—has been
exalted far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, not only in this
world but also in the world to come.
Around
the world, many systems of power exist. Some nations imagine that they control
the entire world, ruling other countries through fear, laws, and policies.
Certain political leaders believe that their power reaches up to the heavens.
Yet they fail to realize that if God wills, they could perish in a single
moment.
Today’s
verse reminds us that Jesus Christ has been given the name above every name—not
only in this age but also in the one to come.
“…so
that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and
on earth and under the earth, and that every tongue will confess that Jesus
Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.”—
Philippians 2:10–11 (NASB)
Even
the demons recognized His authority.
“And
shouting with a loud voice, he said, ‘What business do You have with me, Jesus,
Son of the Most High God? I implore You by God, do not torment me!’” — Mark
5:7 (NASB)
“Demons
also were coming out of many, shouting and saying, ‘You are the Son of God!’
But He rebuked them and would not allow them to speak, because they knew Him to
be the Christ.” — Luke 4:41 (NASB)
But
the Jewish Pharisees did not recognize Him or understand His divine power.
Instead,
“The
Pharisees said, ‘This man casts out the demons only by Beelzebul the ruler of
the demons.’” — Matthew 12:24 (NASB)
Beloved,
if we too fail to believe fully in Christ’s authority, we are no different from
those Pharisees. When we truly recognize His power, we will believe that the
same Lord who performed miracles on earth is still able to work wonders in our
lives today. We will believe that He forgives our sins and has the power to
keep us from falling back into them.
In
every nation there are many departments of government, yet the prime minister
or president has authority over them all—their commands are obeyed. If a human
ruler of a small country holds such power, how much greater is the authority of
the Almighty God, who created and rules over the entire universe!
Let us
therefore cling to Him who reigns above every rule, authority, power, and
dominion, both in this world and in the one to come.
“For you have made the Lord,
my refuge,
Even the Most High, your dwelling place.
No evil will happen to you,
Nor will any plague come near your tent.
For He will give His angels orders concerning you,
To protect you in all your ways.
They will lift you up in their hands,
So that you do not strike your foot against a stone.”
— Psalm 91:9–12 (NASB)
