Heaven must take Him in until the time comes for the restoration of all things, which God announced long ago through His holy prophets.
The word here is ambiguous: Christ may be contained in heaven, or He may contain the heavens. Do not strain it. What matters is certain: seek Christ nowhere but in heaven while you wait for the final restoration, for He is at immense distance from us until our minds rise above the world. His redemptive work is complete, but its full effect waits for the last day.

When Peter saw the crowd moved by the miracle and ready to worship him and John, he cut them off at once and turned all honor to Christ alone. A wise minister uses the broken and prepared ground of the people's wonder to sow the gospel seed.

Commenting on Acts 3:12-26
Christ holds His place in heaven in His human nature without hindering His spiritual presence to His people. The restitution means not the return of all creation to some original state, but the fulfillment of every promise God spoke through the prophets: the gathering of the full number of the Gentiles and the conversion of the Jews, and all the glorious things spoken of His church in the latter day.
