Episode notes
Glorified Presence Beyond Space
- The Ascension changes Jesus' mode of presence from spatial to divine, not merely a relocation in space.
- This glorified presence makes a new, non-spatial access to God possible for humanity.
Psalm 110 Fulfilled in Divine Dominion
- The Ascension fulfills Psalm 110: Christ returns to sit at the Father's right hand, signifying divine dominion.
- 'Sitting at God's right hand' implies sharing in God's dominion over space, not occupying another physical location.
Humanity Entering Divine Life
- Jesus' human body entering heaven opens a place for our humanity within God's life and destiny.
- Where Jesus' humanity goes, he creates room for our eventual glorified, resurrected humanity.
