Question 28

Wherein consisteth Christ's exaltation?

Scripture

  1. 1 Corinthians 15:3–4 [1]
    For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures, (ESV)
  2. Acts 1:9 [2]
    And when he had said these things, as they were looking on, he was lifted up, and a cloud took him out of their sight. (ESV)
  3. Ephesians 1:19–20 [2]
    and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, (ESV)
  4. Acts 1:11 [3]
    and said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into heaven? This Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will come in the same way as you saw him go into heaven.” (ESV)
  5. Acts 17:31 [3]
    because he has fixed a day on which he will judge the world in righteousness by a man whom he has appointed; and of this he has given assurance to all by raising him from the dead.” (ESV)
