HAND, RIGHTA symbol of the externally positive outgoing energy,—that which does. The evolutionary force from within outwards. “Ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming with the clouds of heaven.” - MARK xiv. 62. When the consciousness is raised above the lower planes, then shall the adoring soul behold the higher aspects of existence and the central Ideal of Love and Truth established in the evolutionary out-going power of the Supreme. The “clouds of heaven” signify the veils which for a time obscure the love and truth of the Supreme, but which disperse so soon as the Divine glory and power are revealed to the consciousness. “Whilst on the one side Christ rests as from a perfected work which needs no addition nor repetition, on the other He rests not day nor night. And this aspect of His presence is as distinctly set forth in Scripture as that is. For is not the right hand of God the operative energy of the Divine nature? And is not sitting at the right hand of God equivalent to possessing and wielding that unwearied, measureless power? Is there not blended together in this pregnant phrase the idea of profoundest calm and of intensest action, that being expressed by the attitude, and this by the situation? Therefore does the Evangelist who uses the expression expand it into words which wonderfully close his Gospel.” - A. MACLAREN, Sermons, 2nd Series, p. 22. |
