Jesus’ work is finished

Hebrews 1:3 And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, Jesus Christ is God’s Son. After He made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Father. That’s our confession of faith in Jesus. The author of Hebrews wanted his readers to place their confidence in Jesus Christ as their Messiah and great high priest. Unlike the priests in the temple, whose work was never finished, so they had to continually stand, serve, and make sacrifices, Jesus’ work on earth is finished. He can and has sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, our Father’s right hand. This seat at the right hand is the place of authority and power in the kingdom of God. Having accomplished what the Father gave Him to do, God has highly exalted Him and given Him a name above all names. At His name, every knee in heaven and earth will bow and confess that Jesus is Lord, to the glory of God. There is no greater name than the name of Jesus. The name isn’t primarily how the name is spelled or pronounced. There’s no greater work than the work Jesus accomplished on the cross. He sits now at the right hand of God because of the great work He has done, not because we call Him, Jesus. Although Jesus’ redemptive work on earth is done, we still have work to do with Him. We are encouraged today that the one who loves us and who lives in us has given His life for us so we could know Him and His love. Knowing Him, we understand why we are here in this world. We were made by the rhema of God so we could be vessels of His love and revelation. That’s our purpose in life—to live to love with Jesus.
