### 49. Q. How does Christ’s ascension to heaven benefit us?
|
||||
|
||||
**A**. First, he is our advocate in heaven in the presence of his Father.<sup>1</sup> Second, we have our own flesh in heaven as a sure pledge that Christ our head will also take us, his members, up to himself.<sup>2</sup> Third, he sends his Spirit to us on earth as a corresponding pledge.<sup>3</sup> By the Spirit’s power we seek not earthly things but the things above, where Christ is, sitting at God’s right hand.<sup>4</sup>
