In this chapter we will look at Jesus Christ's relationship with the present and future, within the context of Van Ruler's theology. We have already seen what Jesus' once for all work consisted of (chapter 1) and the meaning of history as the putting into effect of this work (chapter 2). In this chapter we will continue this discussion by looking at the theological significance of the ascension as the concealment of salvation and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit as a new act of God which puts Christ's work into effect in history. We will look at the relationship of Christ and the Holy Spirit as well as the relationship of both with the eschaton.
