1 Peter 3:22

1 Peter 3:22 ‘who is at the right hand of God, having gone into heaven, after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him.'

‘who' -Jesus.

‘is at the right hand of God' -(Romans 8:34; Ephesians 1:20; Hebrews 1:3). ‘In the ancient world, to sit at the right hand of. king signified that one acted with the king's authority and power…as an indication of Christ's present universal authority, the finality of his completed work of redemption, and his immeasurable worthiness to receive our praise.' (Grudem p. 165)

‘having gone into heaven'. Acts 1:11

‘after angels and authorities and powers had been subjected to Him' -Some see this verse as including both good and evil powers in the spiritual realm (Ephesians 6:12; Colossians 2:10; Colossians 2:15). 1. Jesus presently sits and reigns as King. While evil still operates (1 Peter 5:8), it cannot overpower the Christian against their will and it will only succeed as far as God permits it to succeed. 2. This last statement ties this whole context together. Christians may suffer for doing what is right, but never fear, so did Jesus. And look what suffering accomplished! And look how the Father exalted Jesus after such suffering!
