What are the best seats that you ever had? Once I had a seat on the dais with Coach Tom Landry of the Dallas Cowboys and with Billy Graham in front of a packed convention center audience. Another time I had a seat in the Columbia Broadcasting suite right behind home plate at Yankee Stadium. I don’t say that to boast, as I had very little to do with acquiring either of these seats. The first seat was given to me as part of a large group. The second seat was given to me by friend who knew somebody with CBS. I didn’t earn my place at either event. They were great seats though.
God has prepared an even better seat for me. Again I did not earn this honor. It is completely given to me by His grace in kindness. Ephesians 2:6-7 says, “and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.” Jesus Christ has prepared a place for me, and all who trust Him, at the feast in Heaven. We will be seated at His table with Him. Then He will show us the immeasurable riches of His grace in kindnesses toward us. What a seat! What a show! What grace!
