2. The Death of Christ was for Satisfaction to Justice, and when he had done that Work, he was to enter into rest. It behoved Christ to Suffer and enter into Glory. 'Tis true,1 Divine Honour was due to him upon another title, as the Son of God: but the receiving of it was deferred by dispensation for a time. First, He must redeem us, and then Reign. The Scripture is very clear in referring his actual possession of Glory, as the just consequent to his complete expiation of sin.2 When by himself He had purged our sins, He sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. And after he had made one Sacrifice ⟨p. 276⟩for sins, for ever sate down on the right hand of God.
