S – So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was taken up into heaven and sat down at the right hand of God

Mark 16:19 ESV

O – Commentary:

On the one hand (Gr., men) the Lord Jesus—a compound title not found in the Gospels except in Luke 24:3—after His post-resurrection ministry (a 40-day period; cf. Acts 1:3) was taken up into heaven (by God the Father, implied). There He sat down at the right hand of God, His place of honor and authority (cf. comments on Mark 12:36–37a). The reality of this was confirmed to the early believers by Stephen’s vision (cf. Acts 7:56). In one sense Jesus’ work on earth was finished.

A – While on earth, Jesus fulfilled so many roles – teacher, rabbi, healer, deliverer, friend, son, etc.  Those roles are completed just as his work on earth was finished.  His reestablished role is God, Lord, Son, Savior and a new one – Advocate (I John 2:1).  He sits at the right hand of the Father and advocates for us.  

R – Heavenly Father, we worship and surrender to you.  You are Lord of all and we exalt you to the highest place of honor.  Thank you for Jesus, who sits at your right hand and advocates for us as we live our daily lives for you.
