In Acts 2:33-34 Peter related Jesus' ascension to "the right hand of God." This completes the circuit beginning with His birth in Bethlehem. He came to die on the cross for our sins. God resurrected Him and exalted Him back to His right hand. (Bock 68) He is sitting because His redemptive work is finished. Notice He stood to welcome Stephen in Acts 7: 56. He is ever present to intercede for us when the devil would condemn us. (Romans 8: 34). "...And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed? (Isaiah 53:1) In "The Right Hand of God" 1997 (Godglorified.com), Randall Hughes taught that Jesus is the right hand of God. It was He who created the universe. (John 1: 3)

Very good post. I agree that Jesus is at the right hand of God, after his redemptive has been accomplished. But now he makes intercession for you and I.
