He is the glory of God upon earth and the glory of man in heaven. Just as
God was blotted out on earth, so also was man blotted out in heaven. Now
Jesus comes as the one he is; and God lives upon the earth. Then Jesus is
again with the Father in heaven; and humanity lives there in him. Now
before God there gleams something of the humanity that was dead—it is the
glory of mankind in heaven before God through Jesus.
