As we come together and as we look, we tend to look down on people that we think are lesser than us.

And then we get a little arrogant and proud like, you know, I'm smarter than you, I'm prettier than you,

I'm better than you, I'm more successful than you. Or, you know, well, you're a crook. That's why you're rich.

And you ripped us all off and you're corrupt and we're doing social justice to reorient your wealth. You're welcome. So what happens either way,

we tend to look down on people. And the key to stop looking down on people, he says, is to look up

to Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory. Rather than looking down on them, look up to him. And here he calls

his brother Jesus, the Lord of Glory. Now, Lord means that Jesus Christ right now is ruling and reigning. He's the highest authority in all of the universe. It says repeatedly in the Bible that right now, Jesus in the unseen realm after risen from the dead, is high and exalted and seated on a throne. It appears in 17 to the 22 chapters of Revelation,

45 times the New Testament, talks about Jesus on his throne. Ruling and reigning is king of kings

and lord of lords ruling over heaven and earth, having all authority and all dominion.

When the throne appears in the Bible, all worship, all glory, all honor, all obedience goes to Jesus on the throne.

All authority, all dominion, all rule comes from Jesus on the throne.

And what sometimes happens is we look down on those people rather than looking up to him.

And we're so worried about where we sit on the org chart in the family in the ministry

wherever the case may be we tend to forget that all our seats are under his throne and his

throne is ultimately the one that we should be paying the most attention to and he uses this language

that jesus christ is the Lord of glory. Glory.

And what that means is that if you are impressed with yourself,

the quickest way to solve that is to look up to him.

And to realize, I'm not a big deal.

He is.

My group is not that impressive.

He is.
