Amazing Truth

Do not rush thru this!

Heb 8:1-2
Now this is the main point of the things we are saying: We have such a High Priest, who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
NKJV

The Book of Hebrews is a declaration of the Supremacy of Christ in all things.
He is better than the Prophets, Angels, Moses, Joshua, Aaron, and much more is identified in the letter.
In our context He is demonstrating the Supremacy of the Priesthood of Christ over the Aaronic Priesthood. There is much that I could say about the far exceeding greatness of His priesthood (you can get that info. thru the Hebrews sermon series available on our website), but I want to glory in one stated in our verse above.

The Writer(believed to be Paul) goes back to his main point in this section on the Supremacy of the Priesthood of Christ and He tells them that they(Believers in Palestine) now have a Great High Priest who is seated at the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the Heavens.  What Priest had they ever known from Aaron's seed that could sit down in the Heavenly Sanctuary and specifically at the Right Hand of the Throne!  If a sinful priest had tried to do that they would have been killed on the spot.  They couldn't even go into the Holiest of All in the tabernacle on earth without offering blood for their ownselves and even then they had to hope the sacrifice would be acceptable and they would not die in the presence of God.  But This Priest, after the order of Melchizedek, after he had offered one sacrifice for sins sat down forever at the right hand of God. 
Which priest, which Mediator, would you choose? One who has to offer sins for himself, one who has to offer sacrifices over and over again, one whose work was never done, or one whose work is finished and is approved of Jehovah to sit at His right hand.  I choose that Priest!  Everytime...with Joy...I choose Jesus by the Grace of God. (Which was His exhortation and point)  BUT WAIT!  There's more.

I asked the question who in the world have you ever known who could sit down at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in the heavens?  Nobody, right? Nobody but Jesus!  Look again. The New Testament says that you and I are sitting at the right hand of the throne of God in Christ.
Eph 2:4-7 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us,5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, NKJV
Eph 1:3-4 "Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ," NKJV
Col 3:1-4 If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God.

Listen, We are in Him, and He is where?  Seated at the right hand of the Throne of God.
That's where we are seated and accepted by God thru Him.  Hard to believe?

Rev. 1:4 To Him who loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood,6 and has made us kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.  NKJV
1 Peter 2:9 But you are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, NKJV

The scripture declares that you and I are priests.  We are allowed access to God to offer sacrifices (Heb. 13:15; I Peter 2:5)
However, we are not only priests (which is amazing in itself) we are called a Royal Priesthood, we are said to be Kings and Priests.  We are Kings and Priests because we sit at the Right hand of the throne of the Majesty on High in the King of Kings.  This is the Truth!  This is what makes Grace so Amazing and the Gospel so Glorious!

But that's not all...Right now this is our Position and we abide their by faith...But one day faith will become sight and Position will become Practice.  Here it is described. 
Rev 3:21 To him who overcomes I will grant to sit with Me on My throne, as I also overcame and sat down with My Father on His throne.  NKJV
One day we shall sit with the Master in the Heavens at the Right hand of God, to the praise of the glory of His grace, with the greatest Joy any world has ever known, and we shall sing a new song, Worthy! Worthy! Worthy! is the Lamb that was Slain who has redeemed us out of every kindred, tongue, and nation.  Amen and Amen.
