_The Resurrection proves_ 1. That Jesus is the Son of God. [John 20:28,
Rom. 1:4+, Acts 2:36] 2. That the sacrifice which He made for sin was
sufficient and accepted. [Rom. 8:34, I Thess. 1:10] 3. That we also
shall rise from the dead. [Rom. 4:25+, I Cor. 15:19-20+, I Cor. 6:14]
3. HE ASCENDED INTO HEAVEN from Mount Olivet forty days after His
resurrection. [Acts 1:9] Having finished His work on earth, He returned
to the heaven from which He had come. He has gone to prepare a place for
us. [Acts 14:2]
4. AND SITTETH ON THE RIGHT HAND OF GOD THE FATHER ALMIGHTY; that is, on
the right hand of God's power. As the God-man He now wields all power in
heaven and earth. [Matt. 28:18+, Eph. 1:20-22+] He rules over all
creatures in the realm of Power; over the believers in the realm of
Grace (the Church on earth); and over angels and saints in the realm of
Glory in heaven. He continues His office of High-priest, and intercedes
for us with the Father. [Rom. 8:34+, Heb. 4:14-16]
5. FROM THENCE HE SHALL COME TO JUDGE THE QUICK AND THE DEAD.
