The Ascension of Christ was very beneficial for us. This is seen three ways. Firstly, as our Leader, because He ascended in order to lead us; for we had lost the way, but He has shown it to us. "For He shall go up that shall open the way before them,17 and thus we may be made certain of possessing the heavenly kingdom: "I go to prepare a place for you."18 Secondly, that He might draw our hearts to Himself: "For where thy treasure is, there is thy heart so."19 Thirdly, to let us withdraw from worldly things: "Therefore, if you be risen with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is sitting at the right hand of God. Mind the things that are above, not the things that are upon the earth."20
