Ascensão
A ascensão de Jesus ao céu é a coroação de sua obra redentora. Ele subiu à destra do Pai, de onde voltará com poder e glória para buscar os seus.
After Jesus had told them this, he was taken up as they were watching and a cloud hid him from their sight.
While they were staring intently at the sky as he ascended, two men dressed in white were suddenly standing beside them. "Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring at the sky?" they asked. "This same Jesus who has been taken up from you to heaven shall come in the same way you saw him go into heaven."
Then, the Lord Jesus, when he had finished speaking to them, was taken up into heaven where he sat down at the right hand of God.
Then he led them out until they were near Bethany, and lifting up his hands, he blessed them. While he was blessing them, he left them, and was taken up to heaven.
In my Father’s house there are many rooms. If this wasn’t so I would have told you. I’m going to prepare a place for you.
I tell you the truth, anyone who trusts in me will do the same things I am doing. In fact they will do even greater things because I am going to the Father.
I left the Father and came into the world; now I leave the world and return to my Father."
"Don’t hold onto me," Jesus said to her, "for I haven’t yet ascended to my Father; but go to my brothers and tell them I am ascending to my Father and your Father, my God and your God."
Then Jesus told the people, "I’ll be with you just a little longer, but then I’ll return to the one who sent me.
There’s no question about it: the revealed truth about God is amazing! He was made known to us in human form, he was vindicated by the Spirit, seen by angels, declared to the nations, trusted in by the world, and taken up in glory!
