it must necessarily follow that the same is not limited with the human nature he assumed, and yet remains personally united to it (John 3;13).
Job 11;7-9.—Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection? It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?—Acts 17;27.—1 Kings 8;27.
Job 3;13.—And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.—Col. 2;9.—Phil. 2;6-7.
49. Of what advantage to us is Christ’s ascension into heaven?
First, that he is our Advocate in the presence of his Father in heaven (Heb. 9;24): secondly, that we have our flesh in heaven, as a sure pledge that he, as the head, will also take up to himself, us, his members (John 14;2, 3): and thirdly, that he sends us his Spirit, as an earnest, by whose power we “seek the things which are above, where Christ sitteth at the right hand of God, and not things on earth” (John 16;7).
Heb. 9;24.—For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands, which are the figures of the true; but into heaven itself, now to appear in the presence of God for us.—1 John 2;1.—Rom. 8;34.
John 14;2, 3.—I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also.—Eph. 2;4-6.—Eph. 1;22.—1 Cor. 12;27.
