The cross was not the end of Christ's glory. The empty tomb was not the end of His work. The Savior who died for sins is risen, exalted, interceding, reigning, coming, judging, conquering, and glorified forever.
Systematic Theology - Scripture Defines Scripture. Volume 7: The Doctrine of the Risen and Exalted Christ continues the 24-volume Scripture-driven systematic theology series by tracing the biblical doctrine of Christ after His death. This volume presents Exaltation Christology: Resurrection, Ascension, Intercession, Return, and Reign.
Many studies of Christ rightly emphasize His incarnation and atoning death, but Scripture does not stop at the cross. The gospel declares that Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day according to the Scriptures. The risen Christ appeared to His disciples, opened the Scriptures, showed His wounds, spoke peace, commissioned His witnesses, ascended into heaven, sat down at the right hand of God, and now ministers as the living Lord.
This volume examines the biblical testimony concerning:
- The burial and bodily resurrection of Christ
- The empty tomb and the eyewitnesses
- Resurrection as vindication, victory, and firstfruits
- Christ as the Last Adam and the hope of resurrection life
- The ascension and heavenly glory of Christ
- Christ seated at the right hand of God
- The exalted Son above angels, powers, and authorities
- Christ as great High Priest, Intercessor, Advocate, and Mediator
- The Head of the church from heaven
- The present reign of the exalted Christ
- The promised bodily return of the same Jesus
- Christ as appointed Judge and coming King
- The final victory and eternal glory of the risen Lord
Written from the conviction that Scripture defines Scripture, this book does not treat the resurrection as a vague symbol of hope or the ascension as a minor transition. It lets the Bible speak with its own terms and emphasis. Christ is not merely remembered by the church as a past Savior. He is the living Lord who reigns now, ministers for His people, and will return bodily and visibly in glory.
This volume is designed for pastors, Bible teachers, serious students, and thoughtful Christians who want a deeper biblical understanding of the risen and exalted Christ. It is doctrinal, text-governed, worshipful, and written to strengthen confidence in the One who conquered death and now lives forevermore.
Volume 7 can be read as a stand-alone study of the resurrection, ascension, heavenly ministry, return, and reign of Christ. It also functions as part of the larger Systematic Theology - Scripture Defines Scripture series, which develops biblical doctrine from the whole counsel of God while allowing each volume to carry its own distinct doctrinal burden.
The church does not confess a dead founder. It confesses Jesus Christ crucified, buried, raised, ascended, seated, interceding, reigning, coming, judging, conquering, and glorified forever.
