Thirdly, the Doctrine of Christs going up to Heaven, is confirmed to you by Christs promises; Christ upon the earth did promise that he would go up to Heaven, John 6. 62. What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? In John 20. 17. Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not, for I am not yet ascended to my Father, but go to my brethren and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father; and to your Father, and to my God, and your God. Christ did promise that he would ascend, John 16. 5, 7. But now ⟨p. 118⟩I go my way to him that sent me, and none of you asked me, whither goest thou? Nevertheless, I tell you the truth, it is expedient for you that I go away, for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you, but if I depart, I will send him unto you. John 16. 16. A little while, and ye shall not see me, and again a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father. I could quote you many Scriptures, that Christ promised he would go away.
