We have now to consider those things that concern Christ's Exaltation; and we shall deal with (1) His Resurrection; (2) His Ascension; (3) His sitting at the right hand of God the Father; (4) His Judiciary Power.
Under the first heading there is a fourfold consideration: (1) Christ's Resurrection in itself; (2) the quality of the Person rising; (3) the manifestation of the Resurrection; (4) its causality.
Concerning the first there are four points of inquiry:
A[1] The necessity of His Resurrection;
A[2] The time of the Resurrection;
A[3] Its order;
A[4] Its cause.
