Reserved Seating

Have you ever "saved a seat" for someone?  I gave my best effort to save a seat on the school bus for my best beau - you can guess who.  A dedicated seat was reserved in heaven - to the right of The Father - and it's been gloriously and rightly taken.  "We have such a High Priest, Who has taken His seat at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty." (Hebrews 8:1).  Why is it so important He sat down?  Because His divine work - taking God's full wrath for our sin - was done, finished, completed at Calvary! There's another rightful seat Christ has earned: the throne of every Believer's heart.  In order to "love God with all your heart" (as commanded, Matthew 22:37), Christ cannot share this reserved seat. Is someone else, something else occupying His rightful place in your heart? He has reserved seating!
