What does it mean that Christ was received up into glory?

Answered in 2 sources

Christ's ascension signifies the completion of His redemptive work and His ongoing intercession for believers.

The ascension of Christ into glory is of immense significance for Christians, as it marks the completion of His earthly ministry and the affirmation of His sacrifice (1 Timothy 3:16). After making atonement for sin, Jesus is exalted to the right hand of God where He fulfills His eternal priestly role, interceding for His people. This act not only demonstrates God's acceptance of His sacrificial work but also assures believers of their secure position in Christ. By being seated at the right hand of God, Jesus embodies the hope that those who are united with Him through faith will also one day share in His glory.
