The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, and majestic in his radiant splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him today and what came to my heart and mind in Psalm 110:1,

"The Lord says to my Lord:
'Sit at my right hand
until I make your enemies
a footstool for your feet.'"
The writer of Hebrews ascribes the identity of "my Lord" that David speaks of in Psalm 110:1 to the Son of God. In contrasting Jesus Christ to the angels, the writer of Hebrews asks, "To which of the angels did God ever say, 'Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet'?" Hebrews 1:13.
In his sermon on Pentecost, Peter also quoted Psalm 110:1, "God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of it. Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. For David did not ascend to heaven, and yet he said, 'The Lord said to my Lord: "Sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."' Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah." Acts 2:32-36.
Today Jesus Christ is in heaven sitting at the right hand of God. Peter spoke to the Sanhedrin, "The God of our ancestors raised Jesus from the dead—whom you killed by hanging him on a cross. God exalted him to his own right hand as Prince and Savior that he might bring Israel to repentance and forgive their sins." Acts 5:30-31.
When Stephen was being stoned to death he saw a vision of Jesus Christ, "But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 'Look,' he said, 'I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.'" Acts 7:55-56.
Peter preached to a crowd in Solomon's Colonnade, "Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord, and that he may send the Messiah, who has been appointed for you—even Jesus. Heaven must receive him until the time comes for God to restore everything, as he promised long ago through his holy prophets." Acts 3:19-21.
Probably the most exciting passage that tells us where Jesus is today is Romans 8:34-35, "Christ Jesus who died—more than that, who was raised to life—is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love of Christ?" Romans 8:34-35.
Jesus Christ sits at the right hand of God the Father today and speaks to him on our behalf! How wonderful is that?!
