Thank God for the Dominion and Sovereignty to which the Redeemer has been Exalted

Thanksgiving 4.24 | NIV

For the dominion and sovereignty to which the Redeemer has been exalted.

I thank you that because the Lord Jesus humbled himself and became obedient to death – even death on a cross – therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of JESUS every knee should bow and every tongue confess (as I do at this time) that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:8-11(NIV)

That all authority in heaven and on earth has been given to him; Matthew 28:18(NIV) that you have set him over the works of your hands and have put everything under him, and so have crowned him with glory and honor. Hebrews 2:7-9(KJV)

That he is King of kings and Lord of lords; Revelation 19:16(NIV) that the Ancient of Days has given him authority, glory, and sovereign power, an everlasting dominion and a kingdom that will never be destroyed. Daniel 7:13-14(NIV)

That the government is on his shoulders, and that he is called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, and Prince of Peace; and of the increase of his government and peace there will be no end. Isaiah 9:6-7(NIV)

That you have installed him as a King on Zion, your holy hill; Psalm 2:6(NIV) and that he will reign over the house of Jacob forever, Luke 1:33(NIV) will reign until he has destroyed all opposing dominion, authority, and power, 1 Corinthians 15:24-25(NIV) until all his enemies are made his footstool; Hebrews 10:13(NIV) and then he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father, 1 Corinthians 15:24(NIV) so that God may be all in all. 1 Corinthians 15:28(NIV)

Thank God for Christ’s Intercession

Thanksgiving 4.23 | NIV

For the intercession which he ever lives to make in the virtue of his satisfaction.

I thank you that having bore the sin of many, Christ makes intercession for the transgressors, Isaiah 53:12(NIV) and prays, not only for those given to him while he was upon earth, but also for all who will believe in him through their message; that all of them may be one. John 17:20-21(NIV)

That I have one who speaks to the Father in my defense – Jesus Christ, the Righteous One, 1 John 2:1(NIV) who is therefore able to save completely all those who come to God as a Father, through him as a Mediator, because he always lives to intercede for them. Hebrews 7:25(NIV)

That I have a High Priest selected from among men and appointed to represent them in matters related to God, to offer gifts and sacrifice for sin, who is able to deal gently with those who are ignorant and are going astray; Hebrews 5:1-2(NIV) and that he has become the source of eternal salvation for all who obey him. Hebrews 5:9(NIV)

Thank God for Christ’s Ascension into Heaven

Thanksgiving 4.22 | NIV

For his ascension into heaven, and his sitting at God’s right hand there.

I bless you that my Lord Jesus has returned to his Father and my Father, to his God and my God; John 20:17(NIV) has ascended on high, having led captives in his train and received gifts from men, even from the rebellious – that you, O LORD God, may dwell there. Psalm 68:18(NIV)

That he who went before me has entered heaven itself, now to appear for me in God’s presence: Hebrews 9:24(NIV) a Lamb, looking as if it had been slain, standing in the center of the throne. Revelation 5:6(NIV)

That he has sat down at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in heaven, Hebrews 8:1(NIV) with angels, authorities, and powers in submission to him. 1 Peter 3:22(NIV)

That he has gone before, to prepare a place for me in his Father’s house, where there are many rooms; John 14:2-3(NIV) and though where he has gone I cannot follow now, yet I hope to follow later, John 13:36(NIV) when he shall come back to take me to be with himself, that I also may be where he is. John 14:3(NIV)
