By His Universal Travelling, Christ led us Captive and Gave us as Gifts to the Body!

In His Ascension Christ Led us Captive and gave us as Gifts to Build up the Body

Hallelujah for […]

in His ascension Christ led us as captives to the Father and received us as gifts to the Body!
We are gifts produced by Christ’s descending and ascending – He defeated us and took us with Him as vanquished foes, He presented us to the Father, and the Father gave us as gifts for the building up of His dwelling place. But God did not “stop travelling” – He is still travelling within us! Christ is bringing God into us and bringing us into God – by descending and ascending in us and making us gifts to the Body of Christ!
