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?
