   When he says “right hand”, he’s almost using the term as it was used in the military, directly referring to his “right-hand man” (I hate that term), Jesus. Other places in scripture directly state Jesus being ascended into heaven to be sat at the right hand of Jesus. This verse basically follows two truths: that God works in the believer’s salvation solely by the work of the gospel that reveals His grace. Our strength is found solely in the person of Jesus Christ, and the grace he’s extended to us is our comfort and strength.

   Christ Walks With Us in Our Times of Waiting and Confusion

   Yes, Christ carries us (Psalm 23; 31:9; 119:50; Isaiah 41:10; 43:12; 61:1; Matthew 25:35-40; Luke 24:35; John 14:1-7; 15:11; Romans 5:1-11; 8; Ephesians 1:1-10; James 5:13-19; Revelation 21:4)! We do not see Jesus actually carrying someone; rather, we see His example and His call; we see who He is, what he does, and how we are to react. The Gospel is our induction into the domain of the Spirit filled and led life (Rom. 5:1 8:39) The Gospel is the empowerment to us for the continual functioning of divine power, because it is the means by which all who place their faith in Jesus Christ are transferred from the realm of sin and death into the realm of the Spirit and life! The great, fundamental aspect of life is that we have been saved and redeemed, and we received it when we realized we needed it!

   Our great suffering has been prevented as we who are justified by faith now have peace with God. Thus, we are to rejoice in our hope (of what He did for us and of Heaven to come), and rejoice and glory in the midst of troubles. The abundant love of God was shown to us when He reconciled us to Himself by the death of his Son while we were still unworthy sinners and His “enemies.” And, to top it off, God assures us of our salvation and motivates us to rejoice and glory in Him no matter what happens or what we go through, because He has gone through more. The book of Romans answers the common objection that sin is not fair. Sin entered into the world by one man, Adam, and affected all people; but, the grace of God, which justified us, came into the world by One man/God. Adam, along with all of us, deserved it; Christ did not. Yes, it certainly is unfair¾but to God, not to us! The law proved the circumstance that we deserve sin unto death; but the superior, abounding love of grace is ours, as “reigning through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ.” (Rom. 5:1 11)
