I. He Will Come Again in Glory
668
“Christ died and lived again, that he might be Lord both of the dead and
of the living.”548 Christ’s Ascension into heaven signifies his
participation, in his humanity, in God’s power and authority. Jesus Christ is
Lord: he possesses all power in heaven and on earth. He is “far above all
rule and authority and power and dominion”, for the Father “has put
all things under his feet.”549 Christ is Lord of the cosmos and of
history. In him human history and indeed all creation are “set forth”
and transcendently fulfilled.550
