Today is day 73 and we are in the section on the Second Article of the Apostles' Creed on Jesus Christ the Son of God. Today we are on the eleventh line: “and is seated at the right hand of the Father” and studying question 73.

73. What does it mean for Jesus to sit at God the Father’s right hand?

The throne on the king’s right hand was traditionally the seat of one appointed to exercise the king’s own authority. Ruling with his Father in heaven, Jesus is Lord over the Church and all creation, with authority to equip his Church, advance his kingdom, bring sinners into saving fellowship with God the Father, and finally establish justice and peace upon the earth. (Psalm 2; Isaiah 9:6–7; Acts 2:33–36; Ephesians 1:20–23; Hebrews 1:3–14)

We will conclude today with the Collect for Christ the King Sunday found on page 623 of the Book of Common Prayer (2019).
