Jesus at the Right Hand of God Hebrews 10:12

The writer of Hebrews shared how “every priest stands daily ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, which can never take away sins”, and in chapter ten and verse twelve of Hebrews the writer shared how when Jesus “offered one sacrifice” He “sat down on the right hand of God” where we read:

But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God;

The verse begins, “But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever,...”. The writer began with the word, “But” which is a disassociation conjunction that means what is about to be written takes precedence over what was just stated “this man” which refers to “Jesus Christ”, “after he had offered” or “after Jesus had brought in, lead and presented” “one sacrifice” which means “one victim” “for sins” or “on behalf of and for the sake of errors, mistakes and missing of the marks” “for ever” which means “towards continuous action”. Unlike the priests who daily had to offer “sacrifices” that could “never take away sins”, the writer referred to the time after Jesus “offered one” complete and continuous “sacrifice” within the heavenly temple “for sins”.

The verse goes on to say, “...sat down on the right hand of God;”. The writer continued with the words, “sat down” or “to sit and fix one's abode and to settle down” “on the right hand” which means “at the right hand which is the place of honor and authority” “of God” which refers to “the Godhead bodily and trinity which is comprised of God the Father, Christ the Son and the Holy Spirit”. After Jesus presented his “offering”, He took His place of “honor and authority” at God's “right hand”.

When we think through these words in Hebrews, we see how Jesus was positioned in the high place of “honor” with God once He made a sacrifice of Himself for the “sins” of people. When Jesus died on the cross for our sins, He gave the ultimate, continuous and perfect sacrifice before God who placed Him in the position of “authority” which is above all others who exist. Those who realize what God has done through Jesus Christ His Son shall bow their knees before Him and confess with their mouths that Jesus Christ is Lord.

Next time the writer asks “how much more shall the blood of Christ” “purge your conscience from dead works”, so read ahead, and we shall join together then.

Until tomorrow…there is more…
