Hebrews 1: 3 -4
" The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the EXACT representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. AFter he had provided purification for sings, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven. So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is superior to theirs."

Hebrews 10:11 -14
" DAy after day every priest stands and performs his religious duties; again and again he offers the same sacrifices, which can never take away sings. But when this priest had offered for all time one sacrifice for sins, he sat down at the right hand of God... because by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy."

So I heard this AMAZING sermon at Central Wesleyan this past week. It talked about "What does it mean for God to sit down?"

The old testament talks about the tent and the tabernacle and how the priests were continuously moving with God. In these tents and tabernacles they had no stool, chair, or couch, only the mercy seat which was set for Jesus. The priests NEVER sad down because they were never done with their work. Jesus sat down, however, because through Him, all things were finished. Victory in Jesus! So as you can see form the passages above, we can offer sacrifices, but we can never take away sin. Jesus paid the ultimate sacrifice and there is nothing we can do to ADD to what Jesus has done. So rather than doing deeds FOR Jesus to love us, we need to do deeds BECAUSE Jesus loves us. There is NOTHING you can do to make Jesus love you. He loves you just as you are. All are welcome.

That's the jist of the sermon. It was just a very deep look at what seemed like such a simple passage, but in truth had such a HUGE impact on our Christian faith. To think Jesus is the only one who can truly say He is done... the only one worthy of sitting at the right hand of the Father and how foolish of us to think that we could possibly do something here on earth that would equal his grandeur.
