Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Ephesians 1:20

_ _ in Christ — as our “first-fruits” of the resurrection, and Head, in virtue of God’s mighty working in whom His power to us-ward is made possible and actual [Alford].

_ _ when he raised him — “in that He raised Him.” The raising of Christ is not only an earnest of our bodies being hereafter raised, but has a spiritual power in it involving (by virtue of our living union with Him, as members with the Head) the resurrection, spiritually of the believer’s soul now, and, consequently, of his body hereafter (Romans 6:8-11; Romans 8:11). The Son, too, as God (though not as man), had a share in raising His own human body (John 2:19; John 10:17, John 10:18). Also the Holy Spirit (Romans 1:4; 1 Peter 3:18).

_ _ set himGreek, “made Him sit.” The glorious spirits stand about the throne of God, but they do not sit at God’s right hand (Hebrews 1:13).

_ _ at his own right hand — (Psalms 110:1). Where He remains till all His enemies have been put under His feet (1 Corinthians 15:24). Being appointed to “rule in the midst of His enemies” during their rebellion (Psalms 110:2), He shall resign His commission after their subjection [Pearson] (Mark 16:19; Hebrews 1:3; Hebrews 10:12).

_ _ in the heavenly places — (Ephesians 1:3). As Christ has a literal body, heaven is not merely a state, but a place; and where He is, there His people shall be (John 14:3).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Ephesians 1:15-23.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Ephesians 1:20

And he hath seated him at his own right hand — That is, he hath exalted him in his human nature, as a recompence for his sufferings, to a quiet, everlasting possession of all possible blessedness, majesty, and glory.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Ephesians 1:20

(20) Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set [him] at his own (z) right hand in the heavenly [places],

(20) The apostle wishes us to behold in our most glorious Christ (with the eyes of faith) that most excellent power and glory of God, of which all the faithful are partakers, even though it is as yet very dim in us, by reason of the shame of the cross, and the weakness of the flesh.

(z) To be set on God's right hand is to be a partaker of the sovereignty which he has over all creatures.
