Weird Ideas: Seated at the Right Hand of Godნიმუში

Early Christians wanted to make something clear. Jesus didn’t just die and rise. He also ascended into heaven. Not like some kind of ghost or spirit. In bodily form. More like Superman launching off the earth or Neo ascending from the world of “The Matrix.” So the Apostles’ Creed chases the proclamation of Jesus’s resurrection with the line: “He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.”
What’s this getting at? That Jesus went up to take heaven’s throne. Jesus is now ruling the universe.
There’s a lot of imagery here, and this week’s plan will unpack it. For today, just read the account of Jesus’s ascent into heaven in a snippet from a message by Peter that talks about Jesus’s reign from heaven.
