HG183-184 Luke 24:44-53-Acts 1:3-12, Mark 16:19-20 Ascension Sunday
when Jesus ascended into heaven, that was heaven’s affirmation that He had accomplished everything He had come to do.
“Why are you looking longingly? Why are you looking as if you’re losing someone? This Jesus who has been taken up from you into heaven will come in just the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.” He went up physically and bodily and that’s exactly the way He’ll come back. He went up from the Mount of Olives, He’ll come back to the Mount of Olives. “And when He comes back, every eye will see Him.”
He went back different than He had left. He had left as pure Spirit, He went back as pure Spirit and pure glorified humanity. No more just Spirit but glorified humanity. And this is proof that heaven is a place which accommodates glorified humans and it will accommodate us.
