Hebrews 10:13

"but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down on the right hand of God,"

Key Reflection

Hebrews 10:13 speaks of Christ's once-for-all sacrificial work and its eternal significance. By offering one perfect sacrifice for sins, Jesus has completed what no other sacrifices could achieve; thus, he sits down on the right hand of God in victory. This action symbolizes his finished work, ensuring that those whose sins he has forgiven are securely upheld and protected by divine grace.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

Verse 13. From henceforth expecting. Or, waiting. He waits there until this shall be accomplished according to the promise made to him that all things shall be subdued under him. See Barnes "1 Co 15:25" and following. Till his enemies. There is an allusion here to Ps 110:1, where it is said, "The Lord said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand until I make thine enemies thy footstool." The enemies of the Redeemer are Satan, the wicked of the earth, and all the evil passions of the heart. The idea is, that all things are yet to be made subject to his will --either by a cheerful and cordial submission to his authority, or by being crushed beneath his power.
