Fragment: One at the King’s Hand

Nehemiah 11:24
We read in Nehemiah of one who was “at the king’s hand in all matters concerning the people.” This is no mean shadow of the present place of our Lord and Saviour, who has gone into heaven to appear in the presence of God for us. He is there at God’s right hand, ever living to make intercession for us, having, we might say, undertaken the whole of our cause in all matters which concern us.
