It brings tears to my eyes knowing that my Father still loved me and brought me out of a life of sin.

“Therefore He is able also to save forever those who draw near to God through Him, since He always lives to make intercession for them” (Hebrews 7:25)

We are so unworthy! He so loved that HE sacrificed HIS beloved son for our redemption. What a GOD, what a Savior. How can we not serve Him ! How can we not love Him!

HE is risen hallelujah!! HE us taken up glory to the FATHER praise and honour, and glory to HIM the everlasting Saviour.

“But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.” John 16:7 It was important for Him to go so that the Holy Spirit would come to us

As our living, exalted, and triumphant Redeemer, who was raised from the dead, He is at the right hand of God interceding on our behalf before the throne (Romans 8:34). Jesus is still very active on our behalf in heaven.

[@ednapenaflor8543]

Thank you for this beautiful message. It has strengthened me in my walk on earth knowing that there is Jesus interceding for me. Glory to God. Watching replay from Victoria, BC, Canada.

How wonderful He is !!! God foretold everything long before and His body was even guarded by Roman soldiers who had the penalty of death if they slept on the job or failed their mission . All so what Jesus said would happen couldn't happen but it DID happen !!! Even His image was left on His burial cloth !!! Non believers ALL are living by the calendar of His Birth Anno Domini The Year Of Our Lord Jesus Christ 2023 !!!

Jesus did not go to heaven after His earthly ministry and “take a break” from His role as eternal Shepherd to His people.

Is it fair to say the Ascension was the beginning of the Christian religion, meaning worship of the unseen Christ, as opposed to a cult of Jesus when he was physically present?

Anybody know where this was preached? I know R.C’s funeral was held here I just don’t know where it is 😅

🕆 John 3:16-17 “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him.🕆 Trust in the Lord don't be self-righteous learn to humble yourself and surrender to the word and will of God. Let the Holy Spirit guide you. Let God’s Peace and Grace be with you (To The Reader). Praise God always. Amen,.. 🕆🙏🙌
