Christ Exalted

“The LORD says to my Lord: ‘Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool’” Psalm 110: 1

Here I lived for some time, very sweetly at peace with God through Christ. Oh, I thought, Christ! Christ! There was nothing but Christ that was before my eyes. I was not only looking upon this and the other benefits of Christ—his blood, burial, or resurrection— [as parts]. But [finally] considered him as a whole Christ! In him, all these and all other of his virtues, relations, offices, and operations met together. Because he sat on the right hand of God in heaven.

It was glorious for me to see his exaltation and the worth and prevalence of all his benefits. And it was because of this: Now I could look from myself to him and should reckon all these graces of God that now were . . . [great] to me. In Christ, my Lord and Savior! Now Christ was all! All my wisdom, all my righteousness, all my sanctification, and all my redemption.

Further, the Lord did also lead me into the mystery of union with the Son of God. That I was joined to him, that I was flesh of his flesh, and bone of his bone, and now was that a sweet word to me in Ephesians 5:30 [“For we are members of his body” KJV]. By this also was my faith in him, as my righteousness, the more confirmed to me. For if he and I were one, then his righteousness was mine, his merits mine, his victory also mine. Now could I see myself in heaven and earth at once. In heaven by my Christ, by my head, by my righteousness and life, though on earth by my body or person.
