4. What is the difference between Christs ascension and ours.
Christs ascension and ours agree, §11. In that it is to the same place.1 For we shall ascend into the same place whither he ascended. §22. In that also it is to be glorified. Father, I will that they, which thou hast given me, be with me, even where I am, that they may behold my glory. But they differ,2 §11. Because Christ ascended by his own power and virtue: we not by our own, but by his. No man hath ascended into heaven (that is by his own proper virtue) but the Son of man. We shall ascend by, and for him. I go to prepare you a place. I will that they which thou hast given me, be with me,3 even where I am. §22. He ascended to be head: we to be his members. He to glory agreeable for the head: and we shall ascend to glory fit for members. He ascended to sit at the right hand of the Father; we to sit indeed in his and his Fathers throne, but that only by a participation: not in the same degree and dignity with him. To him that overcometh, will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I overcame, 4and sit with my Father in his throne. Christ therefore ascended as head of the Church: we shall ascend as members of this head, that we may be partakers of his glory.
