In this meditation Hebrews 1 verse 3 it declares that after the Son had provided purification for sins He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.
To me this speaks of a position of power, (right hand) and exaltation (seated on the throne). It speaks of overcoming of rest and of victory. Jesus as the spotless lamb, provided the perfect sacrifice for the purification of our sins. (He had none.) Then, it was finished! He could sit down and rest. His foes were defeated, his sacrifice complete, satisfying God's requirement for removing sins and our guilt. During this process, he who knew no sin became sin, and took upon himself the judgment that was due us. And after his death and burial, He rose. Gloriously victorious and triumphant over sin and Satan!
So He defeats Satan and the powers of darkness; leads the captives out of captivity; then purchases forgiveness for whosoever will believe. And after bringing His own blood as the payment, once forever into the Holy of Holies, sprinkling it upon the mercy seat, He is now sat down at the right hand of the Father, the Majesty in Heaven. What an amazing demonstration of total love.
God the Father is here described as the "Majesty". Majesty is something regal, lofty, or stately in dignity, imposing in character or grandeur, or something supreme in greatness or authority, He is our sovereign, King of kings and Lord of lords.
How does this apply to us? First, Jesus is supreme. He is over all authority and has all power. He now sits at the right hand of God, Almighty resting in His authority and power. Yet He is approachable. Secondly, His sitting down is a symbol of a finished work. Satan and the powers of darkness are defeated; sin power too is broken and forgiveness is provided to all who will receive it! He is the victorious one! He is triumphant over hell and has provided access for all to the Father of Light.
If He has done this and we believe it, we too are victorious. We are certainly forgiven. We have access to the Father of Light and our Creator.
Finally, let us consider this name of God, the Majestic. This is too wonderful. He is breath-taking in his power and might. Nothing is too hard for Him. He is terrible in his wildness and unlimited power. He is wonderful in His grandeur and massive grandeur. Everything and everyone will and must bow before His awesome power and greatness as Lord of Lord. Amazing, incomprehensible and delightful is our God and Father! Think about that!
