Verse Takeaways

1

Christ's Tender Embrace

Commentators see this verse as a beautiful picture of intimate communion with Christ. His 'left hand' (which could smite enemies) is now a gentle support, and His 'right hand' (of power and blessing) embraces the believer. This signifies profound safety, tenderness, and the reception of both temporal and spiritual blessings from God.
