V. 12.— But this man, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins, for ever sat down on the right hand of God. But this priest, having offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God. Christ having sat down at the right hand of God, is repeatedly mentioned by the Apostle. Chap. 1:3; 8:1; 12:2. This is the fulfilment of the 110th Psalm, previously quoted, "The Lord said to my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, till I make thine enemies thy footstool.” Christ sitting down at the right hand of God, after having offered His atoning sacrifice, demonstrated its perfection. The Jewish priests stood while fulfilling their service. It would have been death for the high priest to have sat down within the vail; but our great High Priest having humbled Himself, and become obedient to death, even the death of the cross, and thus redeemed His people from the curse of the law, by being made a curse for them, ascended up far above all heavens, and sat down at the right hand of God, angels, principalities, and powers being made subject to Him.
