He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
Several years ago Ed Fudge wrote a commentary on the Book of Hebrews and called it Our Man In Heaven. Sounds like an appropriate title for the work of the risen Lord as he completed his work on earth and went back to heaven and finished offering his blood before the real mercy seat in heaven. Hebrews 9:12 He did not enter by means of the blood of goats and calves; but he entered the Most Holy Place once for all by his own blood, having obtained eternal redemption.
As Jesus left the disciples on the earth and ascended to heaven (Acts 1:9-11), He goes back to the Father and completes the offering of his blood for the remission of our sins. His journey to earth and his journey back to the Father are now complete and he always lives to intercede for us. He is truly our man in heaven. He sent forth the Holy Spirit and he now is our advocate in heaven and will one day return to take us home with him. What a day that will be?!!!
By sitting down on the right hand of the Father he has. now finished his work of bringing salvation to men. He will bring about full redemption of our bodies when he returns for us. By the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, (he) will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. (Phil. 3:21)
The resurrection of Jesus from the tomb is our assurance that we can also be raised. As we arise from the waters of baptism through faith in the power of God who raised him from the death we can know that as children of God we have eternal hope.
When Jesus took his seat at the right hand of the Father, Things were ready for the world to be redeemed. Now is the time for all of us to be on board the good ship to heaven.
