This Act of Ascending answereth to the High-Priest under the Law who after they had killed the Sacrifice he was to bring the Blood into the most Holy Place to wit the inner-Temple the Way to which was ascending or going up 2 Chron. 9. Now consider the Circumstances that attended his Ascending when he went to carry his Blood to present it before the Mercy-Seat and you will find they all say amends is made to God for us 1. At this He is again attended and accompanied with Angels Act. 1. 10 11. 2. He ascendeth with a shout with the sound of a Trumpet with sing Praises sing Praises sing Praises Psal. 47. 5 6. 3. The Enemies of mans Salvation are now tied to his Chariot-wheels When he ascended on High he led captivity captive Ephes. 4. that is he led Death Devils and Hell and the Grave and the Curse captive for these things were our Captivity And thus did Deborah prophecy of him when she cried Arise Barak and lead thy Captivity captive thou Son of Abinoam This David also fore-saw when he said Thou hast ascended on high thou hast led Captivity captive Judges 5. 12. Psal. 68. 18. 4. The Apostles must be the Beholders of his going up and must see the Cloud receive him out of their Sight Act. 1. 11 12. The Consideration of these things strongly inforceth this Conclusion That he hath spoiled what would have spoiled us had he not by his Bloodshed taken them away And I say for God to adorn him with all this Glory in his Ascension THUS to make him ride Conqueror up into the Clouds THUS to go up with found of Trumpet with shout of Angels and with Songs of Praises and let me add to be accompanied also with those that rose from the Dead after his Resurrection who were the very Price of his Blood This doth greatly demonstrate That Jesus Christ by what he hath done hath paid full price to God for the Souls of Sinners and obtained Eternal Redemption for them he had not else rid thus in Triumph to Heaven 2. I come now to his being Received He was received up into Heaven The High-Priest under the Law when he ascended into the Holiest he was there to offer the Blood which Holiest was the Type of Heaven Exod. 19. 10 11. Heb. 9. 24. But because the Sacrifices under the Law could not make them that did the Service perfect as pertaining to the Conscience therefore they were to stand not sit to come out again not tarry there For it is not possible that the Blood of Bulls and Goats should take away sin wherefore when he cometh into the World he saith Sacrifice and Offerings thou wouldest not but a Body hast thou prepared me In Burnt-Offerings and Sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure Then said he lo I come in the Volume of thy Book it is written of me to do thy will O God Heb. 10. 4 5 6. Christ therefore in his entering into Heaven did it as High-Priest of the Church of God Therefore neither did he go in without Blood Wherefore when he came to be an High-Priest of good things to come by a greater and more perfect Tabernacle not made with hands that is to say not of this Building neither by the Blood of Bulls and Goats but by his own Blood he entered in once into the Holy Place having obtained Eternal Redemption for us Heb. 9. 12 13 14. He entered in having obtained or because he obtained Eternal Redemption for us but to pass that Consider ye now also those Glorious Circumstances that accompany his Approach to the Gates of the Everlasting Habitation 1. The Everlasting Gates are set yea bid stand open Be ye open ye Everlasting Doors and the King of Glory shall come in This King of Glory is Jesus Christ and the Words are a Prophecy of his Glorious Ascending into the Heavens when he went up as the High-Priest of the Church to carry the Price of his Blood into the Holiest of all Lift up your Heads O ye Gates even lift them up ye Everlasting Doors and the King of Glory shall come in Psalm 24. 7 9. 2dly At his Enterance he was received and the Price accepted which he paid for our Souls Hence it is said He entered in by his Blood that is by the Merit of it To Receive is an Act of Complacency and Delight and includeth Well-pleasedness in the Person Receiving who is God the Father And considering that this Jesus now received is to be received upon our account or as undertaking the Salvation of Sinners for he entered into the Heavens for us it is apparent that he entered thither by vertue of his Infinite Righteousness which he accomplished for us upon the Earth 3dly At his Reception he received Glory and that also for our Encouragement God raised him up and gave him Glory that our Faith and Hope might be in him 1 Pet. 1. 19 20 21. He gave him Glory as a Testimony that his undertaking the Work of our Redemption was accepted of him 1. He gave Glory first to his Person in granting him to sit at his own Right Hand and this he had I say for or upon the account of the Work he accomplished for us in the World When he had offered up one Sacrifice for Sins for ever he sat down on the Right Hand of God Heb. 10. 12 13. and this by God's appointment Sit thou at my Right Hand This Glory is the Highest it is above all Kings Princes and Potentates in this World it is above all Angels Principalities and Powers in Heaven He is gone into Heaven and is on the Right Hand of God Angels and Authorities and Powers being made Subject unto him 1 Pet. 3. 22. 2. He gave Glory to his Name to his Name JESUS that Name being exalted above every Name He hath given him a Name above every Name that at the Name of Jesus every Knee should bow of things in Heaven and things on Earth and things under the Earth and that every Tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the Glory of God the Father Phil. 2. This Name is said in another place to be a Name above every Name that is Named not only in this World but in that also which is to come Ephes. 1. 21. But should JESUS have been such a Name since he undertook for Sinners had this Undertaker failed in his Work if his Work had not been accepted with God even the Work of our Redemption by his Blood No verily it would have stunk in both the Nostrils of God and Man it would have been the most abhorred Name but JESUS is the Name JESUS he was called in order to his Work His Name shall be called JESUS for he shall save He was so named of the Angels before he was conceived in the Womb and he goeth by that Name now he is in Heaven By the Name Jesus Jesus of Nazareth because he once dwelt there This Name I say
