A Seat of Unrivaled Honor
Commentators stress that the invitation to "Sit at my right hand" is a unique honor never extended to any angel. While angels stand and serve, the Son is invited to sit in the position of supreme authority and power next to the Father. Scholars explain this signifies Christ acting as the Father's vicegerent, ruling with His authority. This visual contrast powerfully demonstrates Christ's superiority.
