"When Jesus ascended He went beyond the earthly atmosphere. When he entered Heaven, He was the triumphant Son of God who now was given "the glory" which He had with the Father "before the world was". But He wasn't simply returning to heaven to pick up where He left off when He came to earth. Jesus returned as the eternal God-man, He was eternally joined to flesh. He was now a man in the glory, with a new priestly ministry of intercession and advocacy."
