¹Is Christ ascended to the Father as our fore-runner, then the door of Salvation stands open to all believers, and by virtue of Christs ascension; ²they also shall ascend after him; far above all visible Heavens. O my friends, what place hath Christ prepared and taken up for you! What a splendid habitation hath he provided for you. God is not ashamed to be called your God, for he hath prepared for you a City, Heb. 11.16. In that City Christ hath provided mansions, [Greek or Hebrew], resting places for your everlasting abode, Joh. 14.2. and keeps them for you till your coming. O how August, and glorious a dwelling is that, where Sun, Moon and Stars shall shine as much below your feet as they are now above your heads? Yea, such is the love Christ hath to the believer, that (as one saith) if thou only hadst been the chosen of God, Christ would have built that house for himself and thee. Now it is for himself, for thee, and for many more who shall inherit with thee.
