Objective and subjective Christ is to us,
In heaven He's pleading objectively thus;
Subjectively now in His members He lives
And inwardly to them His being He gives.

In heaven He sits at the right hand of God,
Where as the High Priest He presented His blood;

Our Surety, He careth for us in His love.

J. IN ASCENSION
1. Son of Man
-----------------
In ascension Christ is the Son of Man. This means that the Christ who is in the heavens still has His humanity; He still possesses a human nature.
When the Lord Jesus was being judged by the Sanhedrin, the high priest said to Him, “I adjure you by the living God that you tell us if you are the Christ, the Son of God” (Matt. 26:63). The Lord replied, “You said it! Moreover, I say to you, Henceforth you shall see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of Power and coming on the clouds of heaven” (v. 64). The high priest asked the Lord if He was the Son of God, but He answered by referring to Himself as the Son of Man. The Lord was the Son of Man on earth before His crucifixion, and He is still the Son of Man in the heavens at the right hand of God after His resurrection and ascension. Furthermore, even at His coming back on the clouds He will be the Son of Man. The Lord seemed to be saying to the high priests, “You ask Me whether or not I am the Son of God. I tell you that I am the Son of Man. Even after you have crucified Me and I have been resurrected from the dead, I shall be in the third heaven as a man. ” In ascension Christ continues to be the Son of Man.
Stephen saw the ascended Christ as the Son of Man: “Being full of the Holy Spirit, looking intently into heaven, he saw the glory of God and Jesus standing at the right hand of God; and he said, Behold, I see the heavens opened up and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God” (Acts 7:55-56). This is further proof that in ascension Christ is still the Son of Man.
Revelation 1:13 indicates that the ascended Christ is the Son of Man: “In the midst of the lampstands One like the Son of Man. ” Here Christ is unveiled as the Son of Man. He is both divine and human. As the High Priest He cares for the churches in His humanity.

This hymn became subjective to my spirit this morning! Just imagine the reality of being glorified with Christ in the mingling of the spirit and in the New Jerusalem. This should motivate us be overcoming saints, Halleluia!

Such a rich hymn! I’ve been dwelling on it deeply, and am seeing the objective and subjective work of Christ more clearly than ever.
Hallelujah, what love our Father has for us, and what grace is bestowed on us through Christ’s finished work and what fellowship through the subjective work of His Spirit.

We need Christ on the throne in heaven highly exalted & interceding for us, our Advocate, High Priest, our Surety. We need a Man on the throne completing His heavenly ministry. But we also need the indwelling Christ as our life day by day as the Spirit making God so real to us.
The day is coming when heaven & earth will mingle in one in that city of worth; objective & subjective will in that day be mingled within us in glory for aye.
Rich hymn.
