Seated At The Father's Right Hand

Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father; but go to My brethren and say to them, ‘I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God.’” John 20:17 (NKJV) Do you believe that Jesus suffered for our salvation, He arose from the dead, and He ascended to heaven and is seated at the Father’s right hand? I do, because the Bible tells me so. Would you continue to believe these things about Jesus, if I told you these same words are found within the Anthanasian Creed? I would, because the word of God endures forever. The Anthanasian Creed is correct on some things about Jesus, but when all is said and done, it concludes that salvation has absolutely nothing to do with one having to believe in Jesus to be saved. Let’s take “He ascended to heaven and is seated at the Father’s right hand.” Who would you say is saying “I am ascending to My Father and your Father, and to My God and your God” in John 20:17? Is it the Son of God, Jesus, who in fact “suffered for our salvation, He arose from the dead, and He ascended to” His God, and Father, or is it the Anthanasian Creed’s “the Son is God”? I would say “the Son is God” has absolutely nothing to do with this. After reading John 20:17, do you see the fact that Jesus is seated at the right hand of His God, and Father? They are not one and the same. God bless. In His Care… Jim
