1)Let us go to the last part of this verse.”….when he had by offering Himself an offering of sins and riddance of guilt,He sat down at the right hand of God”.Heb.1:3(Amp).The high priestly work of Jesus Christ for making atonement for our sins is one of the main points of discussion in this Epistle.
2)”he had by himself purged our sins”.The ministry of Levitical priests was not effective in producing complete atonement.Heb.7:11,12.But it served as a shadow of of the high priestly ministry of Jesus Christ.The Day of Atonement imagery was the focus of discussion in chapters 9&10 of this epistle & it was concluded that Jesus Christ has completed the sacrificial part of the high priestly work and the redemption of sins has been accomplished.Heb.10:12,13;18.Read Rom.3:24-26.For the sake of atonement,he need of offer any sacrifice further.Rom.10:10.
3)The expression “he sat down on the right hand of God of the Majesty in heaven” signifies the finished work of Jesus Christ as high priest with redemption of sins & the purpose of God has been fulfilled.The expression is taken from Heb.110: which is used frequently by the writer.Heb.1:13;8:1;
10:12,13;12:2.
4)We are sustained by the continual intercession of Jesus Christ enthroned as priest as well as king on the right hand of God.Heb.7:24,25;Rom.3:34;1 John 2:1.Read Is.53:12.
5)As we have a great high priest,that is passed unto the heavens,Jesus Christ,the Son of God,let us come boldly unto the throne of grace that we may obtain mercy & find grace in time of need.Read Heb.4:14-16
