If Christ has ascended as the one who can rightly stand before his Father, and more, to sit at his right hand with clean hands and a pure heart, we have hope to follow after him. Where he is, there we shall be. And much of the reason why is because when Jesus went up to be exalted at the Father’s side, he did not shed his physical human form. No, he took it with him. So now, for the first time ever, glorified human flesh dwells in the heavenly throne room. Even more, a man — the Man — sits on the throne of heaven.
