The Ascension is of vital importance to our understanding of Jesus. It is the coronation of the Son of Man (Daniel 7:13-14). Furthermore, in the Ascension we gain certification of our personal citizenship in heaven. It is assured by the One who pleads for men in the presence of the Ancient of Days. The Prince of the cosmos is our protector and provider, our counselor and consoler throughout the whole of our temporal life. More security for our souls welfare could not be offered. In divine terms our salvation is complete and being worked out and perfected as resident aliens in this world. Jesus Christ is risen and regnant.
