Secondly, His Ascent into Heaven, and Intercession for us prove the completeness and all sufficiency of his Sacrifice. If He had been excluded from the Divine Presence, there had been just cause to suspect that anger had been still remaining in God's Breast; but His admission into Heaven is an infallible testimony that God is reconciled. This our Saviour produces as the Argument by which the Holy Ghost will overcome the guilty fears of Men. He shall convince the World of Righteousness, because I go to my Father. 1Christ in his Sufferings was numbered among transgressors. He dyed as a guilty person, not only in respect of the calumnies of Men, but the curse of the Law, and the Wrath of God which then appeared inexorable against sin. But having overcome Death, and broke through the weight of the Law, and retired to his Father, he made apparent the innocency of his righteous Person, and that a complete Righteousness is acquired by his Sufferings, sufficient to justify all that shall truly accept of it.
