Q53
How was Christ exalted in his ascension?
Christ was exalted in his ascension, in that having after his resurrection often appeared unto and conversed with his apostles, speaking to them of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God,220 and giving them commission to preach the gospel to all nations,221 forty days after his resurrection, he, in our nature, and as our head,222 triumphing over enemies,223 visibly went up into the highest heavens, there to receive gifts for men,224 to raise up our affections thither,225 and to prepare a place for us,226 where he himself is, and shall continue till his second coming at the end of the world.227
