C. H. Spurgeon · Modern retelling

"Who is even at the right hand of God." — Romans 8:34 · KJV

He who was once despised and rejected of men now occupies the honorable position of a beloved and honored Son. The right hand of God is the place of majesty and favor. Our Lord Jesus is His people's representative. When He died for them, they had rest; He rose again for them, and they had liberty; when He sat down at His Father's right hand, they had favor, and honor, and dignity. The raising and elevation of Christ is the elevation, the acceptance, the enshrinement, the glorifying of all His people, for He is their head and representative. This sitting at the right hand of God, then, is to be viewed as the acceptance of the person of the Surety, the reception of the Representative, and therefore the acceptance of our souls. O saint, see in this your sure freedom from condemnation. "Who is he that condemneth?" Who shall condemn the men who are in Jesus at the right hand of God? The right hand is the place of power. Christ at the right hand of God has all power in heaven and in earth. Who shall fight against the people who have such power vested in their Captain? O my soul, what can destroy you, if Omnipotence is your helper? If the shield of the Almighty covers you, what sword can smite you? Rest secure. If Jesus is your all-prevailing King, and has trodden your enemies beneath His feet; if sin, death, and hell are all vanquished by Him, and you are represented in Him — then by no possibility can you be destroyed. Jesus' tremendous name puts all our foes to flight; Jesus, the meek, the wrath-bearing Lamb, is a Lion in the fight. Withstood by all hell's host, we yet overthrow them all; and, conquering them through Jesus' blood, we still go on to conquer.
