“And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven.”
No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man' — the exclusive claim that only the transcendent Son of Man can access heaven establishes Jesus' unique status. The principle that only heavenly origins grant heavenly access undergirds John's Christology: Jesus alone bridges divine and human realms. The present tense ("has gone") may suggest the Son of Man's ongoing heavenly presence alongside his earthly ministry.
