Mark 14:62 “Jesus said, “I am. And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.”
For those who claim that Jesus never affirmed his divinity, this is one of many verses that must be deleted. Jesus clearly identified himself as the Son of God, and the Messiah that was promised. To sit on the right hand of the ‘Power’ means to sit at the right hand of Almighty God, a place of honor accorded only to the Messiah. Why would Jesus answer as the high priest expected him to? Becuase it was the truth. Jesus could have objected to the question. But that would have accomplished nothing. They needed a noose to hang him with, so he handed them one. His sacrifice of himself was done willingly.
Heavenly Father, you are gracious, loving, good, kind, and patient. You don’t allow man’s shortcomings to derail your Divine plan. You have set down in order all of our days, and you know them from the beginning to the end. Thank you for having a lite hand with us! Thank you for mercy! All that we should say about you could fill all of our lives for all time. We cannot ever exhaust the vast storehouse of your greatness. The wisdom you show in everything you do is amazing! In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise you, Amen.
