1 | Sitting at the right hand of God? | Heb 1:3 | Jluna007 | 10746 | ||
When the bible speaks of Jesus sitting at the right hand of the majesty of high (Heb. 1:3); sits at the right hand of the throne of God (Heb. 12:2); at the right hand of the power of God (Luke 22:69); who is at the right hand of God (1 Pe.3:22)... What exactly does it mean? I appreciate your input, Jluna007 |

2 | Sitting at the right hand of God? | Heb 1:3 | Makarios | 10747 | ||
Good question, Jluna007! "...The Son of God came down not to dazzle us with His splendor but to purge our sins. 'Sat down' suggests the formal act of assuming the office of High Priest and implies a contrast to the Levitical priest, who never finished his work and sat down (10:11–13)." (The Nelson NKJV Study Bible) "..sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. The picture of Christ being seated indicates the finished character of His once-for-all sacrifice for sin (10:10, 12), and the right hand indicates the place of honor that He occupies." (The Ryrie Study Bible) "...sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Being seated at God's right hand indicates that the work of redemption is complete and that Christ is actively ruling with God as Lord over all (see v. 13; 8:1; 10:12; 12:2; Eph. 1:20; Col. 3:1; 1 Pet. 3:22; see also note on Mark 16:19)." ... (Mark 16:19) "right hand of God. A position of authority second only to God's (see 14:62; Psalm 110:1)." (Zondervan NASB Study Bible) "...sat down at the right hand. The right hand is the place of power, authority, and honor (cf. v. 13; Rom. 8:34; 1 Peter 3:22). It is also the position of subordination, implying that the Son is under the authority of the Father (cf. 1 Cor. 15:27,28). The seat that Christ has taken is the throne of God (8:1; 10:12; 12:2) where He rules as sovereign Lord. This depicts a victorious Savior, not a defeated martyr. While the primary thrust of this phrase is the enthronement of Christ, His sitting might also imply the completion of His atoning work." (MacArthur NKJV Study Bible) |
