Expl. 28. Christ is here exalted, (1st,) In his resurrection; and here (1.) The glory of his power was exalted, for he raised himself by his own Almighty power, and thereby declared himself to be the Son of God. (2.) The glory of his truth, for he raised himself, as he had foretold, within three days. (3.) The glory of his authority, for he rose as a public person, and thereby declared himself Head of the Church. (4.) The glory of his mercy, for he rose again for our justification; for if he had not received a discharge from his Father, and had he not been released from the prison of the grave, it would have been an evidence against us, that our debt was not paid. (2dly,) He was exalted by his ascension, (1.) If we consider the manner of it, it was with glorious triumph over hell and death. (2.) His ascension was into heaven, namely, into the heaven of heavens, that which is called Paradise and the third Heaven, whether Enoch and Elijah went. (3.) In his bounty and grace, he ascended that he might give gifts to men. (3dly,) Exalted in his sitting, &c. for his Session at the right hand of the Father, doth declare him to be supreme Head of the Church. (4thly,) In judging the world, he will be exalted, (1.) In his authority. (2.) In his righteousness.
