January 28 -- "The Right Hand of Power"

  ►Click HERE to view today's "Word from the Word"


Jesus Christ is the ever-living and reigning King of kings, destined to soon return in His magnificent glory. In Mark 14:62, Jesus asserts and affirms this identity as the Messiah and the Son of God before the high priest. When Jesus declares Himself the “Son of Man,” He is embracing a title deeply connected to the coming Messiah, as foretold in Daniel 7:13. This powerful assertion directly challenges the authority of the Jewish council and marks a pivotal moment in the trial, as Jesus proclaims His exalted position at God's right hand and His future return in glory.

In the ancient Jewish and Biblical context, the right hand symbolized a position of strength, power, and honor. To sit at the right hand of a king or governor was to be in a place of highest trust, closeness, and authority. In fact, the person at the king’s right hand carried all the power and authority as the king, himself. By claiming this seat at the right hand of the supreme “Power” (God), Jesus was asserting His divine authority as one with the Father. His words echo the truth of Psalm 110:1, where God tells the Messiah, "Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies your footstool."

For us as modern-day believers, this passage is a powerful reminder that Jesus is not merely a historical figure. He is the living, reigning King of kings who will one day return in glory. It bolsters our faith in His promises and reassures us of His power over all circumstances. The return of Jesus in glory will be a visible event witnessed by everyone. In a world often plagued by fear, uncertainty, and doubt, knowing that Jesus is seated at the right hand of Power offers us immense comfort and strength. Our hope is firmly anchored in His sovereignty and the certainty of His imminent return.

With this truth in mind, we are called to live with urgency and purpose. We should make our relationship with Jesus a top priority, knowing that our ultimate hope is found in Him. Picture a gardener who, despite the looming storm clouds, continues to till the soil and plant seeds, trusting that the sun will return. In the same way, we should invest in our spiritual growth and live our lives for Jesus, confident in His promise to come again.

Now, may the Lord, who reigns at the right hand of Power, fill your heart with hope and strength. May you live in the light of His coming, bearing fruit in every good work, and may His peace guard your hearts until we see Him face to face. Amen.
