So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God.
All Commentaries on Mark 16:19 Go To Mark 16
Augustine of Hippo
AD 430
While such things are mystifying if we take them in a carnal sense, we may be warned thereby to think of them as ineffably spiritual. For this reason, even if we think of the Lord’s body, which was raised from the tomb and ascended into heaven, only as having a human appearance and parts, we are not to think that he sits at the right hand of the Father in such a way that the Father should seem to sit [literally] at his left hand. Indeed, in that bliss which surpasses human understanding, the only right hand and the same right hand is a name for that same bliss. Letter , to Consentius.
