Hebrews explicitly states its “main point”: believers have such a high priest, seated at the right hand of the throne of Majesty in heaven. It says he is a minister in the true tent set up by the Lord, not by man (Hebrews 8:1–2). This summarizes the argument about Jesus’s priestly position and place of service.
In Hebrews 8:1–2 the writer pauses to name the “main point” of everything argued so far: “we have” a high priest who is not standing to serve but has “sat down” in the place of highest honor, at the right side of the heavenly throne. These verses function as a hinge. After developing the claim that Jesus is a unique high priest (especially in Hebrews 5–7), the writer now condenses the argument into a single centerpiece: the community’s high priest is enthroned in heaven.
Hebrews 8:1–2 pauses to state the writer’s central takeaway from the argument so far: “we have” a high priest right now. That priest “sat down” at the right side (right hand) of the throne of “Majesty” in heaven. The seated posture signals highest honor and settled authority, not insecurity or defeat.
A careful answer keeps the immediate passage, the book's argument, and the whole-Bible storyline together, so the question is answered in context instead of as a detached idea.
Start with Hebrews 8:1-2, then read the surrounding section so the answer stays connected to the passage's flow.
1Now in the things which we are saying, the main point is this. We have such a high priest, who sat down on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens,
2a minister of the sanctuary, and of the true tent, which the Lord pitched, not man.
