The graduation of the Son
18 Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Me.
Matthew 28:18Bible Reading
Daniel 7:13-14
13 In my vision in the night I continued to watch, and I saw One like the Son of Man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into His presence. 14 And He was given dominion, glory, and kingship, that the people of every nation and language should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
Imagine the greatest graduation ceremony in history. The stadium is the universe. The audience is millions of angels. The Chancellor is the Ancient of Days. The honored Son is Jesus, the Son of Man. He comes with the clouds of heaven. He approaches the Ancient of Days and is led into His presence. He receives dominion, glory, and kingship. And here is the amazing part: He brings His people into His victory. The Bible teaches that we are heirs with Christ. His triumph gives you courage. When you feel small, or when you feel like a failure, look to the Son of Man. He has won the victory. He has secured the Kingdom. Now He sends you back to your campus under His authority. You are not fighting for victory; you are fighting from victory. You are an ambassador of the King. Walk into your classroom today with your head high. You belong to the Son of Man.
