What does it mean that Christ sat down at God's right hand?

Answered in 1 source

Christ sitting down at God's right hand signifies the completion of His atoning work and His ongoing intercession for believers.

The act of sitting down at the right hand of God emphasizes both rest and authority. In biblical terms, to sit down is to indicate that a task is completed. Christ, having offered Himself as the ultimate sacrifice, no longer needs to make further offerings, as the work of redemption is fully accomplished. Additionally, His position at God's right hand symbolizes His authority and role as intercessor for His people, ensuring their salvation is secure and eternally protected. This assurance provides believers with confidence and peace in their relationship with God.
