A Library Of Resources For Spiritual Growth
The primitive ascription of height to God, embracing the Father and Son, is in direct, concrete and typically Biblical manner of thinking of and feeling after the inexpressible supremacy of God. The New Testament has little to add to the conception of the God of Heaven as the highest God except the central claim that he who suffered death upon the earth is now enthroned on high.
Despite his loftiness the God of Heaven is not excluded from his Creation. The exalted Christ is not felt to be taken away because he has been taken up.
Heaven in the Christian Tradition - Ulrich Simon
