Jesus sits on the right hand of the Father. Who sits on the left?
A. No one sits on the left hand. The sheep go to the right, the goats to the left. The goats are disposed of because they are unfit (See Mt 25:41). The entire section is from Mt 25:31-46. Also note that in Scripture, standing is for ministry (See Ac 7:56), sitting is for judgment (See Rev 20:11,12). The right hand is the position of strength, honor and trust. Hence the phrase “right hand man” and the use of the right hand to shake hands as a sign of trust by giving up the weapon-wielding hand (See Judges 3:21,22). The entire story is from Judges 3:12-30.
