Q&A's:

Question 50
Why the next words: “and sits at the right hand of God”?

Answer
Christ ascended to heaven, there to show that he is head of his church, the one through whom the Father governs all things.

Question 51
How does this glory of Christ our head benefit us?

Answer
First, through his Holy Spirit he pours out gifts from heaven upon us his members. Second, by his power he defends us and preserves us from all enemies.

Question 52
How does Christ’s return “to judge the living and the dead” comfort you?

Answer
In all distress and persecution, with uplifted head, I confidently await the very judge who has already offered himself to the judgment of God in my place and removed the whole curse from me. Christ will cast all his enemies and mine into everlasting condemnation, but will take me and all his chosen ones to himself into the joy and glory of heaven.
