Right
Hand Man
John 14:6-7 Jesus saith unto
him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father,
but by me. (7) If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and
from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him. (KJV)
When you think of a right
hand man you think of someone that is familiar with an organization and how
it operates. As we see here Our Lord is specific to say that the only way
to the Father is through the Son, this same Son the Father sent to deliver
the message of salvation and pay the price for sin to reconcile us unto Him.
So having had a man that was able to walk this earth and live a life
without sin demonstrating how to walk in the Spirit, what better man to
have seated at the right hand than someone who has been there and done it
right. You know the question one has to answer is this, if God entrusted
Jesus Christ to be the one mediator between Him and us, are you also
willing to trust in Our Father’s decision as well? Because anything else
will not get you access into His kingdom; and what it comes down to is that
you are saying that He is a liar and not one to honor His word.
Revelation 22:14-15 Blessed
are they that do his commandments, that they may have right to the tree of life,
and may enter in through the gates into the city. (15) For without are
dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and
whosoever loveth and maketh a lie. (KJV)
You know you have a right to
this tree of life right now because you have been engrafted into it to
bring forth fruit unto God. It’s only those that not only hear His word but
then do his commandments that will have an eternal access to it. However
anything that is not according to the word of God but based on a lie will
be on the outside and not able to get through to the Father. It is so very
vital to know who is seated at the right hand of God making intercession
for His church so that you can access the Father through the Son and know
that you are a partaker of His divine nature and will not be left out.
1 John 3:22-24 And whatsoever
we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those
things that are pleasing in his sight. (23) And this is his commandment,
That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one
another, as he gave us commandment. (24) And he that keepeth his
commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he
abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. (KJV)
A simple commandment is that
we should believe on the name of Jesus Christ and the completed work that
He did on behalf of mankind and the work He continues to do making
intercession for us. If you are not confident in your prayers and are not
getting the results you sought, you may need to check to make sure you have
the right access code otherwise you will be trying to access a God of truth
by a lie. Who is a liar, those that deny that Jesus is the Christ, God’s
right hand man who is ever making intercession for us. In fact those that
deny the Son are denied access to the Father and thus the term antichrist.
Ephesians 1:17-21 That the
God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the
spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of him: (18) The eyes of
your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope of
his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the
saints, (19) And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward
who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, (20) Which he
wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own
right hand in the heavenly places, (21) Far above all principality, and
power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in
this world, but also in that which is to come: (KJV)
Mankind has had spiritual
blinders on them and unable to see beyond the realm of the flesh because of
sin. God having sent His Son to redeem us from this curse reconciled us to
Himself when He raised Christ from the dead and set Him at His right hand so
that we could now be adopted back into the kingdom of God. Christ is the
power and wisdom of God that removes the spiritual scales from our eyes and
enlightens us to come to an understanding of God’s plan of salvation which
is wrought only to those in Christ.
Thayer’s definition for
wrought:
1754 energeo-
1) to be operative, be at
work, put forth power; to work for one, to aid one
2) to effect
3) to display one's activity,
to show oneself operative
There is only one name which
is above every name; there is no other name under heaven by which we will
find entrance to the throne of God, that being Jesus Christ who is seated
at the right hand of God ready willing and able to reveal God’s plan of salvation
to any or all that seek to worship Him in Spirit and in truth. So again, if
God has entrusted this man with the position of mediator and throughout His
word is pointing us to Him through His Son, isn’t it time you started
trusting in Him also?
Colossians 3:1-2 If ye then
be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ
sitteth on the right hand of God. (2) Set your affection on things above,
not on things on the earth. (KJV)
If you truly desire a
personal relationship with the Father then it is time to start looking
beyond this realm and into the heavenly one. In order to access the Father
you will need a name that is higher than anything here on earth to give you
access to a God that is able to do above and beyond what we could have ever
asked or thought. Aim higher, for those in the realm of the flesh the sky
is the limit to them; to those that are in Christ there are no limits, for
as the heavens are higher than the earth and its way of thinking so great
is the mercy of God that He would send His only begotten Son to not only
die for us, but continue His mission in the form of a mediator. Imagine if
you were accused of a crime and had to go to court against a bunch of high
priced lawyers who knew the laws backward and forward. Now imagine if you
could access an attorney that could prove your innocence and set you free,
but you instead chose to represent yourself and ended up convicted. That is
basically what happens to those that don’t accept Christ as their savior
and allow Him to mediate God’s plan of salvation to them on a daily basis
but choose their own defense and end up eternally convicted. The spiritual
evidence to set you free is delivered to you through Jesus Christ so that
you will no longer be imprisoned to sin and death.
Romans 8:34-39 Who is he that
condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is
even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us. (35) Who
shall separate us from the love of Christ? shall tribulation, or distress,
or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or peril, or sword? (36) As it is
written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long; we are accounted as
sheep for the slaughter. (37) Nay, in all these things we are more than
conquerors through him that loved us. (38) For I am persuaded, that neither
death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor powers, nor things
present, nor things to come, (39) Nor height, nor depth, nor any other
creature, shall be able to separate us from the love of God, which is in
Christ Jesus our Lord. (KJV)
Jesus Christ condemned sin in
the flesh so that we could be set free from our eternal death sentence. He
is seated at the right hand of the Father making intercession for us so
that we no longer have to be separated from the love of God which is being
manifest to us through His right hand man, Christ Jesus our Lord. Being the
fact that God decided He was the right guy for the right hand position,
isn’t it time you did also?
