1. _Christ, our Savior, ascended into heaven as the triumphant Victor
over all His and our enemies. He entered into heaven, into the glory of
His Father, there to prepare a place for us._
2. _His ascension assures us that the gates of heaven are open to all
who believe in Him, that we shall be where He is to see His glory._
3. _Our Lord sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty, that is,
He, the God-man, lives to eternity, lives, and is with us in His Word,
and reigns over His own with His almighty power forever and ever._
