What does it mean that Jesus 'sat down' after His sacrifice?

Answered in 1 source

Jesus 'sat down' signifies that His sacrificial work was complete, and He now reigns at the right hand of God (Hebrews 10:12, 13).

The phrase that Jesus 'sat down' after His offering speaks to the completion of His atoning work. In contrast to the Old Testament priests who never sat down because their work was never finished, Jesus' seating at the right hand of God illustrates that His sacrifice was the ultimate fulfillment of God’s redemptive plan. It confirms that Jesus has secured the right to reign and that His victory over sin and death is established (Hebrews 10:12, 13). This sitting is not just a physical posture but symbolizes His authority and the rest He provides for believers in the assurance of salvation.
