Did the Lord Jesus Christ ascend and sit at the right hand as man?

The Lord Jesus Christ is a single person, and his two natures are united “without confusion, without change, without division, without separation.” It is therefore a glorified human being, who is the Word of God, who was exalted above all: “God highly exalted him, and gave him the Name which is above every name, so that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow… and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father” (Phi 2:9–11; see Q390, Q532).

In the Ascension, our human nature itself is enthroned in the Holy of Holies: man now sits where God reigns. The Scriptures show that the risen body of the Lord was a glorified body, as the Apostle explains:

It is sown in corruption but raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor; it is then raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, raised in power; sown a natural body, raised a spiritual body… The first man is from the earth, made of dust; the second man is the Lord from heaven… As we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man… For what is corruptible must put on incorruption, and what is mortal must put on immortality… then what is written will come true: ‘Death is swallowed up in victory!’ (1Co 15:41–54; see Q187, Q382).

This resurrectional body is called “spiritual” not to deny that it is truly a body, the risen Lord ate before his disciples and showed them his hands and feet (Luk 24:39–43), but because the risen and glorified body is wholly animated and pervaded by the Spirit, free from all corruption, mortality, and sin.
