He Sat Down

Hebrews 1:3 “The Son is the radiance of God’s glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.”

Today, take time to meditate on this verse.  Ponder the words that exalt our Savior and speak of His glory. Soak in the impact of Jesus’ act of sitting down.

In our humanity, we sometimes look at ‘sitting’ as a mark of indifference or inaction.  Sometimes it is even a symbol of protest.  But Hebrews tells us that when Christ completed the will of the Father, He sat down.  The action was complete.  He suffered and died in our place on the cross.  He paid the penalty for our sin, taking all of the sin of the world past, present, and future from every tribe, nation and language, and satisfied the ransom for us with His blood. He severed the power of sin and death an forever breached the gap that stood between God and man. His act of sitting at the right hand of the Majesty in Heaven signified it was finished, complete and sufficient.  

When a Sovereign sits on the throne, their rule and authority are visibly affirmed. They are taking their place of leadership and authority. All others bow to the. Jesus’ presence on the Throne is our confidence that our redemption is complete.  

Can we even imagine the majesty of Christ sitting at the right hand of the Father, in all His glory?  Oh, friends, we need to!!  We need to know that our Victor reigns!!  There is nothing left to do - He paid it all for us!!  

Today, take time to pray in adoration of our Lord Jesus Christ.  Then, pray that our sons and daughters would live in adoration of Him as well.

Jesus is Lord!

Pray without ceasing.
