Who is gone into heaven, and is on the right hand of God; angels and authorities and powers being made subject unto him.
(Psalms 110:1; Romans 8:34; Romans 8:38; 1 Corinthians 15:24; Ephesians 1:21; Ephesians 3:10; Colossians 2:10-15.) The fruit of His patience in voluntarily-endured, undeserved, sufferings: a pattern to us (1 Peter 3:17-18).
Gone (Luke 24:51) - proving His literal ascension. Literally, 'Is on the right hand of God, having gone into heaven.' Vulgate and Latin fathers add the benefit of Christ's sitting on God's right hand, 'Who is on the right hand of God, having swallowed up death, that we may become heirs of everlasting life;' involving for us A DEATHLESS LIFE. The Greek manuscripts reject the words. Compare Peter's speeches, Acts 2:32-35; Acts 3:21; Acts 3:26; Acts 10:40; Acts 10:42. An undesigned coincidence and proof of genuineness.
