Why it is Important that Jesus is Seated at the Right Hand of God

Who shall bring any charge against God's elect [when it is] God Who justifies [that is, Who puts us in right relation to Himself? Who shall come forward and accuse or impeach those whom God has chosen? Will God, Who acquits us?] Who is there to condemn [us]? Will Christ Jesus (the Messiah), Who died, or rather Who was raised from the dead, Who is at the right hand of God actually pleading as He intercedes for us?

Romans 8:33-34 (AMP)

Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus Christ. In Mark 16:19 and Luke 24:51, we are told that (after appearing to over 500 people over 40 days) Jesus was taken back up heaven and now sits at the "right hand" of the Father.

In the book of Job 9:32-35, Job in the midst of his trials cried out for someone to mediate between Him and God:

 “He is not a mere mortal like me that I might answer him,
  that we might confront each other in court.
  If only there were someone to mediate between us,
  someone to bring us together, 

  someone to remove God’s rod from me,
  so that his terror would frighten me no more. 

  Then I would speak up without fear of him,
  but as it now stands with me, I cannot.

Now that Jesus has ascended to the Father's side, we are assured that we do have such an advocate that intercedes on our behalf so that we are never alone in our storms.

God'd right hand is a place of power.

God's right hand is a place of authority.

God's right hand is a place of justice.

God's right hand is a place of victory.

God's right hand is a place of grace.

It is here that Jesus sits patiently pleading for our mercy to the Father, and for the chance to come back and claim us as His Bride.

Thank You Jesus for standing in the gap for us, advocating on our behalf. You do not sit idle, but having prepared a place for us, You act as the filter through which God sees us who believe in You as Savior and Lord. And one day You will return for us and take us where You are to live eternally with You and reign with You forever. We love You Jesus and bless Your Holy Name. Amen.
