Thirdly, Christ was taken up bodily to ⟨p. 13⟩heaven, it was to manifest to the World that Christ was God as well as man, to manifest the God head of Jesus Christ therefore taken up bodily to heaven, Eph. 4.9, 10. Now that he ascended, what is it, but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the Earth? He that descended, is the same also that ascended up far above all Heavens, that he might fill all things. There the Apostle proves that Christs going up to heaven, it was an argument that Christ came down from heaven, So in John 6.62. What and if ye shall see the Son of man ascend up where he was before? That shows that Christ was in heaven before, therefore must be God Coequal and Coeternal with God the Father, and thus you have the second point dispatched to you, showing the reasons why Jesus Christ must go bodily into heaven.
