DAILY?READINGS: Judges 9 to 10:5; Isaiah 30; 1 Corinthians 9:1-23
He was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. Mark 16:19
The Son of man standing on the right hand of God. Acts 7:56
Sitting and standing—here are two different perspectives of the One who is at God’s right hand. Mark’s view speaks of a finished work—Calvary’s victory is won and our Saviour waits for His enemies to be made His footstool. Acts reminds us that our Saviour still has an unfinished work. As our great High Priest, He ministers to our need on a constant basis. What a blessing for earthly citizens to know Him who is at the right hand of God. —Wm. H. Gustafson
Our great High Priest is sitting at God’s right hand above,
For us His hands uplifting, in sympathy and love.
