  Jesus Christ, after he had finished his labors and his sufferings upon earth, ascended triumphantly into heaven (See Acts 1:9-11). He went to heaven to receive his own acquired crown and glory (John 17:5), to finish that part of mediatorial work that could not be done on earth. He makes intercession for his people, to demonstrate the fullness of his satisfaction to take possession of heaven for his people. To prepare mansions for us and to send the Comforter, which is the first-fruits of his intercession (John 16:7). Upon is ascension into heaven Christ is sitting on his throne at the right hand of the Father. By Jesus being at the right hand of the Father means absolute rest and cessation from all further troubles and suffering. This is an advancement to the highest personal dignity and sovereign power. Angels, authorities, and powers are all made subject to Christ Jesus: All power in heaven and earth belong to Him, to command, to give law, issue orders, and pronounce a final sentence. This committed Jesus, God-man, his enemies will find to their everlasting sorrow and confusion, but to his servants to their eternal joy and satisfaction.
