Christ at God's Right Hand

 ACTS 7:56

* JESUS SITS AT GOD'S RIGHT HAND

* SAUL BECOMES A DISCIPLE

* WE HAVE REASON TO REJOICE

Ten days after Hesys ascended to heaven,  the outpouring of holy spirit on the day of Pentecost provided evidence that he was, in fact,  in heaven.  And additional evidence of that was forthcoming, just before the apostle Stephen was stoned for his faithful witnessing, he exclaimed: "Look! I see the heavens opened up amd the Son of man standing at God's right hand." - ACTS 7:56. 

While with his Father in heaven, Jesus would await a specific command foretold in God's Word.  David wrote  under inspiration:  "Declared my Lord [Jesus]: 'Sit at my right had until I place your enemies as a stool for your feet."'   When the period of waiting was completed, he would "go subduing in the midst of [his] enemies." (Psalm 110:1, 2) but what would Jesus do from heaven while awaiting the time to take action against his enemies?
