Right Hand

Generally, Bible students can grasp the symbol of trust and strength in the term "right hand." Furthermore, the Old Testament, Jesus Himself, and the letters to Revelation visualize the ascended Jesus as "sitting at the right hand of God the Father" (Ps. 110:1; Matt. 22:44; 26:64; Lk. 22:69; Rom. 8:34; Col. 3:1; Heb. 8:1; 12:2; 1Pet. 3:22; Rev. 3:21). This might seem as if Jesus did His part in providing a sacrifice and sits patiently waiting for the the work on earth to continue guided by the Holy Spirit. Such an opinion represents a part of the senario, but Christians should be encouraged to note that when Jesus' followers were persecuted, they gained enough immediate attention to cause Jesus to rise to His feet and stand. Jesus is intimately interested in the struggles Christians face when honoring any part of the Trinity. This is revealed when Stephen was stoned. "But being full of the Holy Spirit, he gazed intently into heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. - Acts 7:55 (NASB) Christians are never alone in their godly challenges. These people have a goal of bringing honor to God as they travel their unique individual spiritual journey.
