Luke 8:2 (ESV)
and also some women who had been healed of evil spirits and infirmities: Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out,
John 20:14 (ESV)
Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not know that it was Jesus.
But their eyes were kept from recognizing him.
He came as a Servant Mk 1-13
So if there is any encouragement in Christ, any comfort from love, any participation in the Spirit, any affection and sympathy, complete my joy by being of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. Let each of you look not only to his own interests, but also to the interests of others. Have this mind among yourselves, which is yours in Christ Jesus, who, though he was in the form of God, did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped, but emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men.
2. He died on a Cross Mark 14-15
And being found in human form, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross.
3. He was exalted to glory Mark 16
Therefore God has highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name,
Both Mark and Paul emphasize the Great Commission to announce the Gospel to all nations and of the assurance that Jesus is at work in and through them/us
so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
Jesus’ ascension marked the completion of His earthly ministry and the beginning of His new ministry in heaven as our Great High Priest and Advocate
My little children, I am writing these things to you so that you may not sin. But if anyone does sin, we have an advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. He is the propitiation for our sins, and not for ours only but also for the sins of the whole world. And by this we know that we have come to know him, if we keep his commandments.
Jesus is at the right hand of God as our King of Righteousness and King of Peace
and to him Abraham apportioned a tenth part of everything. He is first, by translation of his name, king of righteousness, and then he is also king of Salem, that is, king of peace.
We are enabled to do His will because of Jesus heavenly ministry
By His Holy Spirit, the Lord wants to work IN us, WITH us, and FOR us
Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.
And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord worked with them and confirmed the message by accompanying signs.
For even the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”
