SUMMARY

1. ‘Sitteth’ means ‘reigns as King’.  The ‘right hand’ means the most important place.

2. We show our respect to Christ our King by being reverent.

3. Christ is also our Friend in Heaven and, when we pray, he takes our prayers and speaks them for us to God the Father.  That is why we end with the words, “through Jesus Christ Our Lord”.
