The exaltation of Jesus to the right hand of the Father is a key element in Peter’s speeches in Acts 2 and 5. What is the significance of Jesus’ position at the Father’s right hand in relation to prophecy, authority, and His ongoing ministry?

Consider Gamaliel’s counsel to the Sanhedrin in Acts 5. Is the principle he gives in verses 38–39 a sound one for determining the will of God? How should the church respond to new teachings/truth claims?
