1 | Why God's RIGHT Hand ? | Col 3:1 | Ken John | 116049 | ||
In Colossians 3:1 Paul tells us that Christ is seated at the RIGHT hand of God. Why the right and not the left hand ? What is the Spiritual significance of this; does anyone know ? | ||||||
2 | Why God's RIGHT Hand ? | Col 3:1 | Renovate Me | 116062 | ||
Hi Ken John, Very interesting question. I believe the answer, or one of them as the case may be, can be found in the verse listed above, (Psa 110)which says, ". . . sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool." What is this indicating? It may indicate that there is going to be a promotion. To me, this is God the Father saying to His begotten Son, that He will be "at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool." Where is it that Jesus is able to go after He completes His work at the right hand position? How can he get any higher than He already is? The first answer to come to mind is that Jesus will be elevated to the very throne itself. At the right hand, Jesus is in a position as a crowned prince until his enemies are made his footstool. This, to me, is the prince of this world (everyone's enemy) being brought low, Put into his place where he belongs. Remember how it says, UNTIL I make thine enemies thy footstool. This is because it is not done yet. Jesus is still in the mediatorial role. As far as the Right hand, verses the Left, I think that is the position of authority, meaning the person on the right side of a king's throne would have more authority than the one on the left. But I will need to look into that a little deeper to know for sure. Thank you for your question, Me |

3 | Why God's RIGHT Hand ? | Col 3:1 | Ken John | 116923 | ||
Thanks Me for your observations. Right hand versus left hand is an interesting thought but I agree right hand, as Suede67 says, is a symbolic of power and authority. Like right hand man is taken as the second in charge here on earth. Of course with God it is different as Father, Son and Holy Spirit are ONE. In Christ, Ken |
