They would fain have had Christ to have received them into Heaven, and fain would they have gone with him. The Disciples when they heard Christ speak of going to his Fathers House, why they were all on fire to go with Christ into Heaven; O no saith Christ, I will come again to judge the World, and then I will receive your very bodies into Heaven with me, that as my body is in Heaven, so your bodies shall be there also with me.
They would faine have had Christ to have received them into Heaven, and faine would they have gone with him. The Disciples when they heard Christ speake of going to his Fathers House, why they were all on fire to goe with Christ into Heaven; O no saith Christ, I will come againe to judge the World, and then I will receive your very bodies into Heaven with mee, that as my body is in Heaven, so your bodies shall be there also with me.
Obser. The Observation is this, That it is one great end of Christs coming again for to receive the bodies of all the Elect unto himself, into Heaven with him, I come again and receive you unto my self. I shall not follow the common place in handling the Resurrection of the body, I shall only handle this point practically to you, in ⟨p. 118⟩showing you what the happiness of the Elect of God is in their bodies as well as their Souls; Now because this Text is made use of to pervert many Scriptures, I shall handle this practical Question before I can come to handle the Doctrine.
