6

The gospel of the glory makes known the fact that man, in the person of the risen Lord, is now in the heavens, sitting at the right hand of God. Man is thus seen in an entirely new position with God, and is there not only in righteous title for Himself, but, having in grace suffered, bled, and died, to bring us there, is become our representative and forerunner; till He comes forth a second time, to meet us in the air, and present us before the presence of God faultless, and with exceeding joy.
