What does it mean that Christ was received into glory?

Answered in 1 source

It means that after His redemptive work, Christ ascended to heaven and now reigns in His glorified state.

The phrase 'received up into glory' signifies the culmination of Christ's earthly ministry following His resurrection. In Hebrews 7:24-25, we see that He maintains an unchangeable priesthood, interceding for His people. This ascension confirms His victory over sin and death and establishes Him as the eternal High Priest who advocates for believers. His glorification is essential to the Christian faith, as it assures us of His continued presence and mediatorial work on behalf of the elect.
