na‘a ne nofo hifo mei he to‘omata‘u ‘o e ‘Otua
sat down at the right hand of God
Hepelu 10 (Hebrews 10)
(v. 12) But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God,
(v. 12) Ka ko e Toko Taha ni, hili ‘ene ‘atu koe‘uhi ko e angahala ha fo‘i feilaulau tofu pē taha ‘o ta‘engata, na‘a ne nofo hifo mei he to‘omata‘u ‘o e ‘Otua.
Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible
* The insufficiency of sacrifices for taking away sin, The necessity and power of the sacrifice of Christ for that purpose. (1-18) An argument for holy boldness in the believer's access to God through Jesus Christ, And for steadfastness in faith, and mutual love and duty. (19-25) The danger of apostasy. (26-31) The sufferings of believers, and encouragement to maintain their holy profession. (32-39)
F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary
(V. 11-25)
Note the contrast between the standing of the priests and the sitting of the Priest . The one indicated incompleteness, the other a finished work. All that needed to be done for our final and entire deliverance from sin was accomplished when Jesus returned to the Father. It is for us to pass in large demands and claims. The bank is full, but we must draw on it.
It is a great help, in the study of the Old Testament, to notice how explicitly the writer here attributes to the Holy Spirit the words spoken by one of the old prophets. What a comfort it is to know that God forgets our sins when we have confessed and forsaken them!
The way of prayer and faith was new, for our Lord had just opened it; living, because only those alive in Christ can tread it. The rending of the Temple veil was emblematic of the open vision of God, given through Calvary. But we must be true, believing, reliant on His death and pure through His cleansing, John 13:5-8 .
