§659"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."531 Christ's body was glorified at the moment of his Resurrection, as proved by the new and supernatural properties it subsequently and permanently enjoys.532 But during the forty days when he eats and drinks familiarly with his disciples and teaches them about…

Chapter 7.—Of the Disruption of the Kingdom of Israel, by Which the Perpetual Division of the Spiritual from the Carnal Israel Was Prefigured. Again Saul sinned through disobedience, and again Samuel says to him in the word of the Lord, “Because thou hast despised the word of the Lord, the Lord hath despised thee, that thou mayest not be king over Israel.”10331033 1 Sam. xv. 23…
Chapter 14.—Of David’s Concern in the Writing of the Psalms. In the progress of the city of God through the ages, therefore, David first reigned in the earthly Jerusalem as a shadow of that which was to come. Now David was a man skilled in songs, who dearly loved musical harmony, not with a vulgar delight, but with a believing disposition, and by it served his God, who is the t…
Chapter 17.—Of Those Things in the 110th Psalm Which Relate to the Priesthood of Christ, and in the 22d to His Passion. Just as in that psalm also where Christ is most openly proclaimed as Priest, even as He is here as King, “The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit Thou at my right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool.”10911091 Ps. cx. 1. That Christ sits on the right hand of…
This is the way, beloved, in which we find our Saviour, even Jesus Christ, the High Priest of all our offerings, the defender and helper of our infirmity. By Him we look up to the heights of heaven. By Him we behold, as in a glass, His immaculate and most excellent visage. By Him are the eyes of our hearts opened. By Him our foolish and darkened understanding blossoms up anew t…
The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand. This Psalm is cited by Christ himself to prove that the Messiah is more than merely David's son — he is David's Lord. It speaks of the kingly priesthood of Christ after the order of Melchizedek, a priesthood superior to the Levitical order. The declaration "Sit thou at my right hand" is the most frequently quoted Old Testam…
Chapter 1 The first book of our answer to the treatise of Celsus, entitled A True Discourse, which concluded with the representation of the Jew addressing Jesus, having now extended to a sufficient length, we intend the present part as a reply to the charges brought by him against those who have been converted from Judaism to Christianity. And we call attention, in the first pl…
Q. How does this glory of Christ our head benefit us? A. First, through his Holy Spirit he pours out his gifts from heaven upon us his members. Second, by his power he defends us and keeps us safe from all enemies.
1. Since in Christ there is a twofold nature, and the one — in so far as he is thought of as God — resembles the head of the body, while the other may be compared with the feet — in so far as he, for the sake of our salvation, put on human nature with the same passions as our own — the following work will be complete only if we begin with the chief and lordliest events of all h…
Tertullian points to Christ sitting at the right hand of the Father as proof that the Son is a distinct Person from the Father. The Lord said to my Lord, "Sit at My right hand" — David thus witnesses two Lords. Stephen saw Jesus standing at the right hand of God, confirming the personal distinction.

For the prophets did not simply prophesy concerning Christ in general terms, but they foretold even the manner of His death, and the events of His Passion. Isaiah says: 'I gave My back to the smiters, and My cheeks to them that plucked off the hair: I hid not My face from shame and spitting.' See Isa. l. 6. And: 'He was led as a sheep to the slaughter, and as a lamb before his …
Now the prophets were not silent about these things, but long before declared them. For the prophet Isaiah says: 'Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and they shall call His name Immanuel, which being interpreted is "God with us."' See Isa. vii. 14. And Moses, the truly great, who was accounted faithful in all his house, when he saw that the people had sunk to the l…
'The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit Thou at My right hand, until I make Thine enemies Thy footstool.' See Ps. cx. 1 and Matt. xxii. 44 and Acts ii. 34-35 and Heb. i. 13. David in spirit calls Him Lord, of whom he was himself the father according to the flesh. See Matt. xxii. 43-45. Therefore Christ is both David's Lord and David's Son: David's Son according to the flesh, David's L…
I shall attempt to persuade you, since you have understood the Scriptures, of that which I say, that there is, and that there is said to be, another God and Lord subject to the Maker of all things; who is also called an Angel, because He announces to men whatsoever the Maker of all things, above whom there is no other God, wishes to announce to them. I quoted at that point the …
