By David Mathis About Sanctification & Growth
What’s more impressive than standing in God’s presence? Sitting—and doing so at the right hand.
An angel said to John the Baptist’s father: “I am Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God” (Luke 1:19). That’s noteworthy.
But more so is what Hebrews says about Jesus:
After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty of high, having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. (Hebrews 1:3-4)
That’s worthy of worship.
