What is Jesus doing at the right hand of God?

The Holy Spirit has been active since the creation of the world, but since the descending of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost he is actively moving to apply the hope and benefits of salvation. Jesus sits at the right hand of the Father, but the Spirit is given to humanity in order to continue to reveal the Triune God.

Why does a wound hurt when healing?

Before healing begins, the body gears up to protect against infection. For the first few days, a wound may be swollen, red, and painful. This inflammation is a sign of the body’s immune system kicking in to protect the wound from infection. Keep your wound clean and dry at all times to help the healing process.

Why did Jesus still have scars after his resurrection?

But I have always wondered why Jesus, after his Resurrection, in his glorified body, still bore the visible marks of his wounds. After all, scars are signs of imperfection, a defacement, something most of us try to hide — and in the case of Jesus, they were reminders of searing pain, vulnerability and indignity.

Did Christ’s wounds confirm the resurrection?

None of this would be true if some different body were before them, no matter how similar. Thus Christ’s wounds confirm the truth of the resurrection. Thirdly, “that when He pleads for us with the Father, He may always show the manner of death He endured for us” (Bede, on Luke 24:40). Beautiful!

What was Jesus’s resurrection body like?

( John 20:27) We know precious few details about Jesus’s resurrection body. It was the same body in which he died, and yet it was not only restored to life but changed. He was still human, but now glorified. What was sown perishable was raised imperishable ( 1 Corinthians 15:42 ).

Why didn’t Jesus hide his wounds?

His point isn’t that Jesus’ wounds were flaws; it is that they were wounds that left scars, and that not hiding them from us is a great help to us. This hints at one of the most important human (and divine) qualities: empathy.
