In biblical times, sitting was a common posture for various activities, including teaching, eating, and ruling. The cultural and spiritual significance of sitting can be seen in various contexts within the Scriptures.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, sitting is frequently associated with positions of authority and judgment. For example, in <a href="/exodus/18-13.htm">Exodus 18:13</a>, Moses sits to judge the people: "The next day Moses took his seat to judge the people, and they stood around him from morning until evening." Here, sitting signifies Moses' role as a leader and judge over Israel.<br><br>Sitting is also connected to rest and contemplation. In <a href="/psalms/1.htm">Psalm 1:1</a>, the psalmist warns against sitting in the company of mockers: "Blessed is the man who does not walk in the counsel of the wicked, or set foot on the path of sinners, or sit in the seat of mockers." This verse highlights the importance of choosing one's associations wisely, as sitting with mockers implies a settled and enduring relationship with them.<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, sitting often denotes a position of teaching and learning. Jesus frequently sat to teach His disciples and the crowds. In <a href="/matthew/5.htm">Matthew 5:1-2</a>, we read, "When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain and sat down. His disciples came to Him, and He began to teach them, saying..." Sitting here indicates Jesus' authority as a teacher and His readiness to impart wisdom.<br><br>Sitting is also a posture of fellowship and communion. In the account of the Last Supper, Jesus and His disciples recline at the table, a form of sitting that signifies intimate fellowship (<a href="/matthew/26-20.htm">Matthew 26:20</a>). This setting underscores the importance of community and shared faith among believers.<br><br><b>Heavenly Significance</b><br><br>The act of sitting is profoundly significant in the heavenly realm, particularly concerning Jesus Christ. After His resurrection and ascension, Jesus is described as sitting at the right hand of God, a position of honor and authority. <a href="/hebrews/1-3.htm">Hebrews 1:3</a> states, "After He had provided purification for sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high." This imagery conveys the completion of His redemptive work and His sovereign rule over all creation.<br><br><b>Symbolism and Application</b><br><br>Sitting, as depicted in the Bible, carries rich symbolism. It can represent rest, as seen in God's command for the Sabbath, a day of rest where one ceases from labor (<a href="/exodus/20-11.htm">Exodus 20:11</a>). It also signifies readiness to receive instruction, as disciples sit at the feet of their teacher. Moreover, sitting can denote judgment and authority, as seen in the roles of kings and judges.<br><br>For believers, the act of sitting can serve as a reminder of the importance of rest in God's presence, the value of learning from His Word, and the assurance of Christ's completed work and ongoing reign. The posture of sitting invites reflection on one's relationship with God and others, encouraging a life marked by wisdom, fellowship, and reverence for divine authority.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
