29. But I must remind you also of a few
other testimonies in like manner concerning the Son’s sitting at
the right hand of the Father. For in the Gospel according to
Matthew it is written, Nevertheless, I say unto you, Henceforth ye
shall see the Son of Man sitting on the right hand of
power Matt. xxvi. 64., and the
rest: in accordance with which the Apostle Peter also writes,
By the Resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is on the right hand of
God, having gone into heaven 1 Pet. iii. 22.. And the
Apostle Paul, writing to the Romans, says, It is Christ that died,
yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of
God Rom. viii. 34.. And charging
the Ephesians, he thus speaks, According to the working of His
mighty power, which He wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the
dead, and set Him at His own right hand Eph. i. 19, 20.;
and the rest. And the Colossians he taught thus, If ye then be
risen with Christ, seek the things above, where Christ is seated at the
right hand of God Col. iii. 1.. And in the
Epistle to the Hebrews he says, When He had made purification of our
sins, He sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high Heb. i. 3.. And again, But unto which of the
Angels hath He said at any time, Sit thou at My right hand, until I
make thine enemies thy footstool Ib. v.
13.? And
again, But He, when He had offered one sacrifice for all men, for
ever sat down on the right hand of God; from henceforth expecting till
His enemies be made His footstool Ib. x.
12.. And again, Looking unto Jesus, the
author and perfecter of our faith; Who for the joy that was set before
Him endured the Cross, despising shame, and is set down on the right
hand of the throne of God Ib. xii.
