What is the meaning of Luke 22:69? But • This single word shows a decisive shift in the Lord’s trial scene. The religious leaders reject Jesus’ identity, but He sharply turns the attention to His coming vindication (Luke 22:67–68). • Similar contrasts appear in Acts 2:23–24, where human opposition meets God’s triumphant plan. from now on • Jesus draws a clear timeline: their authority over Him ends here. Every moment after this belongs to His exaltation (John 13:31–32). • His resurrection and ascension fulfill this promise (Acts 1:9; Acts 2:32–33). the Son of Man • By using His favorite title from Daniel 7:13–14, Jesus claims the messianic throne promised in prophecy, stressing both His humanity and divine authority (Matthew 26:64). • The title also underscores His role as universal Judge (John 5:27; Acts 17:31). will be seated • “Seated” communicates completion and authority—His redemptive work will soon be finished (John 19:30), and He will occupy the place of royal rest (Hebrews 10:12). • This posture highlights His priestly and kingly intercession for believers (Romans 8:34). at the right hand • The right hand signifies highest honor and shared authority with the Father (Psalm 110:1; Mark 16:19). • Stephen’s vision confirms this reality, seeing “Jesus standing at the right hand of God” (Acts 7:55–56). of the power of God • Luke’s wording points to the Father’s omnipotence, emphasizing that Christ’s throne is inseparable from divine power (Ephesians 1:19–21). • His reign guarantees the subjection of all enemies (1 Corinthians 15:24–25) and the believer’s secure hope (Colossians 3:1–4). summary In Luke 22:69 Jesus declares that the rejection He faces will immediately give way to His exaltation. From this moment forward, the Son of Man—fully God and fully man—will complete His saving work, take His seat of cosmic authority at the Father’s right hand, and forever rule with divine power. His words assure us that earthly opposition cannot hinder God’s plan, and they anchor our confidence in the risen, reigning Christ. |
