WLC 54: How is Christ exalted in his sitting at the right hand of God?

Answer: Christ is exalted in his sitting at the right hand of God, in that as God-man he is advanced to the highest favor with God the Father1, with all fulness of joy2, glory3, and power over all things in heaven and earth4; and does gather and defend his church, and subdue their enemies; furnishes his ministers and people with gifts and graces5, and makes intercession for them.6
