7.1 Why did the Lord Jesus go to heaven?
ANSWER:
(a) Forty days after his resurrection from the dead, the Lord Jesus was raised up to the presence of God, in heaven. God made him far greater than any other man, greater than any of the angels - the second greatest Being in the whole universe, next to God Himself.
See Hebrews 1:3-4; Philippians 2:9-10; Revelation 5:12-13.

(b) Jesus Christ is now the only true Priest of God, for whose sake our prayers to God are heard. He also prays to God for us.
See Romans 8:34; Hebrews 4: 14-15; Hebrews 7:24-27.
