" In Jesus Christ we find the unshakably righteous Holy One who is worthy to live on God’s holy hill. He is the Last Adam who ascends back up to be where the first Adam was: with God. Exodus 23:19 commands: “Bring the best of the firstfruits of your soil to the house of the LORD your God.” He is the firstfruits and forerunner of the new humanity (the humanity that in Adam had first been taken from the soil or dust of the earth) now taken into the house of the LORD. It means that there is now a man, a real man with our flesh and blood, our experiences of the world, our humanity, in heaven. A man now sits next to God in perfect harmony. "
